Battlestar Galactica is an American science fiction media franchise created by Glen A. Larson. It began with the original television series in 1978, and was followed by a short-run sequel series, Galactica 1980, a line of book adaptations, original novels, comic books, a board game, and video games.
When an old enemy, the Cylons, resurface and obliterate the 12 colonies, the crew of the aged Galactica protect a small civilian fleet - the last of humanity - as they journey toward the fabled 13th colony, Earth.

The upcoming Battlestar Galactica movie from X-Men veteran Simon Kinberg is still lightyears away, but we now know the film will take place in the same universe as the Battlestar Galactica reboot coming to Peacock.
Speaking to Collider, Kinberg said he is in "constant communication" with Sam Esmail, the executive producer of the Peacock series. "In terms of the situation with Sam and the show, I can't say too much about it other than there is synergy between the two enterprises and constant communication between us," Kinberg said.
"We've become close and been having a really good time together and there will be, for lack of a better phrase and it's an overused phrase, a shared universe."
"It's a megillah, humongous film and the prep will be a very long prep period so I would imagine even if we attached a director today it would take six, nine months to prep this movie properly," Kinberg said. "So at the earliest, we'd be shooting at the end of this year. We'd probably be shooting at the beginning of next year."
It's been a long road for the Battlestar Galactica film reboot, with rumblings of its production going back to 2009, when Moore's series ended. In 2020, we learned Kinberg would write and produce the film. Kinberg has been part of the X-Men film series since 2006.
And, speaking of Kinberg, the filmmaker recently commented on the future of the X-Men coming to the MCU, saying Marvel producer Kevin Feige, "knows what he's doing with the MCU."
