Sci Fi Channel has given the greenlight to the “Battlestar Galactica” prequel “Caprica,” Daily Variety reports. The new series, set 50 years earlier in the “Battlestar” universe, has already produced a two-hour pilot. “Caprica” is expected to debut in early 2010, after “Battlestar’s” final season and original movie air in 2009, the trade says.
