Esai Morales has joined Sci Fi Channel’s Battlestar Galactica prequel pilot Caprica cast in the role of Joseph Adama, a Caprican lawyer and the father of Commander William Adama. The Hollywood Reporter describes Joseph as a deeply passionate man with a strong sense of justice - and someone you wouldn’t want as your enemy. This casting comes after the recent announcement that Deadwood’s Paula Malcolmson had landed the role of Amanda Greystone, a surgeon who goes to extraordinary lengths to help her husband revive her dead 16-year-old daughter via robotics. Amanda is the mother of Zoe Graystone, whose likeness and personality are utilized to create the first Cylon.

Battlestar Galactica may be ending its run next year, but the show will live on with Caprica. At its upfront presentation Tuesday in New York, Sci Fi Channel announced that it has picked a two-hour back-door pilot for the prequel, which had been in development for two years. Caprica, which is set 50 years before the events in the departing Battlestar Galactica series, will begin production in the spring. As for Galactica, the series’ final-season premiere will debut online nine hours before it airs on TV.
Sci Fi also has given the go-ahead to True Believer, a two-hour back-door pilot created by Rosario Dawson and David Atchinson - who co-wrote the comic book series Occult Crimes Task Force - about a comic book enthusiast who hires a former superhero to teach him about crime fighting. It joins The Stranded, a two-hour pilot of a Sci Fi/Virgin Comics joint venture. The network also plans an Alice in Wonderland-based six-hour miniseries titled Alice, from RHI Entertainment. A two-hour comedy-drama pilot, Deputized, follows a man who fights crime around the galaxy after getting super powers.

TV Guide is reporting that Battlestar Galactica will return with a pair of back-to-back specials airing Friday, March 28 at 10 pm/ET. The first special is Battlestar Galactica: Revisited, presenting essential information on the characters, relationships and major plot points of the series’ first three seasons. Battlestar Galactica: The Phenomenon follows, offering a celebrity-studded celebration of the show’s impact on pop culture. The first new Season 4 episodes will air on Friday, April 4, at 10 pm/ET.
The Hollywood Reporter says that Dexter and other Showtime series could soon land on CBS if the writers strike continues into the new year. CBS president and CEO Leslie Moonves said at an investor conference Tuesday in New York that CBS is planning to air some Showtime programs. “Dexter is probably the first one to go on - with some edits,” he told reporters afterwards. “It fits with our crime shows.” Dexter, a racy critical and ratings hit for Showtime, stars Michael C. Hall as a Miami police forensics expert who moonlights as a vigilante serial killer.
Now in its second season on Showtime, Dexter has broken ratings records for the premium cable network. Its November 18 episode ranked as the most watched in Showtime’s history. In addition to Dexter, CBS also might consider Showtime’s racy period drama The Tudors, which was originally developed for CBS, and critically praised comedy Weeds, about a weed-peddling soccer mom. However, both will need heavy editing to make it to broadcast primetime.
NBC has been rumored to be looking at a potential a second window on the network for such cable series as USA’s Monk and Burn Notice and Sci Fi’s Battlestar Galactica. NBC already exercised its option to repurpose Law & Order: Criminal Intent, which moved from the broadcast network to USA in the fall.

SyFy Portal is reporting that the upcoming final season of Battlestar Galactica will be split in half, so now the big question is how long will the break in-between be. Producer David Weddle says “We were told that SciFi was thinking about splitting the final season, but we do not know how long the gap in that split will be…As far as I know, SciFi has not decided yet. The SciFi Channel executives are the only ones who will be able to answer that question, once they’ve arrived at a decision.” Last weekend, actor Jamie Bamber said that SciFi Channel was looking to put as much as a year between the mid-season finale and the mid-season premiere. Whatever the case, shooting is scheduled to wrap next March on the series.
Weddle also confirms that the writing staff just spent three days in Lake Tahoe mapping out the final episodes of the show - “We now know how it will end and what each major character’s journey will be, though the specifics may go through many changes between now and the conclusion of shooting.” The writing staff actually recorded a podcast on the final night at the cabin talking about writing for the show which should be released online or on DVDs. The fourth season begins airing in January 2008.
