Caprica, a spin-off from the smash hit cult series Battlestar Galactica, has been added to the Sci Fi Channel's development slate in the US.
Battlestar Galactica executive producers Ronald D. Moore and David Eick have signed on for the show, which, if eventually picked up, will show life in the Twelve Colonies fifty years before the events of its parent show.
It will tell the story of the creation of the Cylons by following the lives of two families, the Graystones and the Adamas - the latter being the family of William Adama, the commander of Galactica.
"Caprica weaves corporate intrigue, techno-action and sexual politics into television's first science fiction family saga," said Sci Fi in a written statement.
