Although many details have been kept tightly under wraps, we have been assured by the producers that Caprica will deliver, intrigue, political backbiting and family conflict in television's first science fiction family saga. We recently found out a bit more about this highly anticipated series.
The Television Critics Association (a group of 200+ North American television writers who meet twice a year to attend special presentations hosted by the studios) are doing their high-profile press tour in Los Angeles right now, and among the major events this past week was a panel for the buzzed-about forthcoming drama Caprica. The show's stars and producers were on-hand to discuss what fans can expect from the programme that they are careful to point out is more than just a Battlestar Galactica spin-off. Entertainment Weekly reports that EXP David Eick insisted, "legitimately, the show stands on its own... It's not called Battlestar Galactica: Caprica [for a reason]."
The Los Angeles Times reports that viewers don't need to know the history of Battlestar Galactica to appreciate the stories and characters in Caprica, and the paper also mentions a handful of guest stars who will be appearing in the first series, including comedian Patton Oswalt ("Dollhouse") and James Marsters (Spike from "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"). More details here as they become available...
Below, check out a gallery of sneak peek pics from the first episode, as well as a gallery from the TCA panel and a few red-carpet snaps of the stars appearing at a Paley Festival event last April!
