(02/10/04) - SCI FI Channel officially announced on February 10th that it has given the green light to for 13 one-hour episodes of a new Battlestar Galactica series, based on the miniseries that aired in December 2003. Returning cast members include, Edward James Olmos (Adama), Mary McDonnell (Laura Roslin), Katee Sackhoff (Starbuck) and Tricia Helfer (Number Six). Ronald D. Moore (Carnivale, Roswell) returns as executive producer. The network announced that production is to begin next month in Vancouver, B.C.

Ronald D. Moore, executive producer, told SCI FI Wire that the first season picks up where the miniseries left off, "a few days have passed since the miniseries, and we're in sort of a dire situation right from the get-go," Moore said in an interview. "I think one of the hallmarks of the series will be that it's always going to be a tense situation. These people are always going to be one step away from disaster. Which doesn't mean that the Cylons will be attacking them every week. But I think the nature of their situation and the reality of what they're facing out there alone, with most of them left with the clothes on their back and whatever food and supplies they happen to have on those ships when the events of the pilot occur is only, God, the beginning. And it's going to take a long time for them to get to any kind of stability or normalcy."

"The series is going to take its cues from the miniseries," Moore said. "The tone and context will be in that vein. There will be lighter moments. I'm sure there will have things that are unexpected and fun to play as time goes on. But the miniseries, that's the bar. That's what we're trying to [do]. ... We want to do that show every week."
