The series Newsday called “The Best Show on Television” and Time magazine voted as one of the top six dramas on the small screen, Battlestar Galactica, returns to SPACE for a much-anticipated second season. The ultimate battle between man and machine resumes January 14 at 8pm ET.
Executive produced and developed by Ronald D. Moore (Carnivale, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine) and David Eick (American Gothic), Battlestar Galactica is a gripping saga of humanity’s last remnants and their struggle to find a new home while fleeing from their deadly Cylon enemies. This stunning re-imagination of the 1978 cult classic hit series has redefined the space opera with its gritty realism. It has distinguished itself by the intensity and present day relevance of its stories and performances of its ensemble cast. The series confronts everything from religion, politics and sex to what it really means to be human.
Season one concluded with Commander Adama (Edward James Olmos) shot at close range by Lieutenant Sharon Valerii (Canadian actress Grace Park), who, unbeknownst to her and the Galactica crew, is a humanoid Cylon. Will Adama survive? Are there more Cylons among them?
