Huge news, just unveiled on SciFi.com: A prequel to Battlestar Galactica is currently in developement, entitled Caprica. Here's what the SciFiWire has to say:
SCI FI Announces Caprica
SCI FI Channel announced the development of Caprica, a spinoff prequel of its hit Battlestar Galactica, in presentations to advertisers in New York on April 26. Caprica would come from Galactica executive producers Ronald D. Moore and David Eick, writer Remi Aubuchon (24) and NBC Universal Television Studio.
Caprica would take place more than half a century before the events that play out in Battlestar Galactica. The people of the Twelve Colonies are at peace and living in a society not unlike our own, but where high-technology has changed the lives of virtually everyone for the better.
But a startling breakthrough in robotics is about to occur, one that will bring to life the age-old dream of marrying artificial intelligence with a mechanical body to create the first living robot: a Cylon. Following the lives of two families, the Graystones and the Adamas (the family of William Adama, who will one day become the commander of the Battlestar Galactica), Caprica will weave together corporate intrigue, techno-action and sexual politics into television's first science fiction family saga, the channel announced.
I think that we know how this will play out...

Why do you think that?
Personally, it does seem fairly redundant, because we do know what happens. However, it's something that I've suspected will happen for a while since Galactica has done so well.
I am curious that they're using two families, one of them the Adamas. I wonder if EJO will be in it.
