BSG Spawns Caprica show

From Scifi.com:

Caprica is the prequel to SCI FI's hit original series Battlestar Galactica. The series will star: Eric Stoltz, known for his work in the film Milk and the hit TV show Chicago Hope, Esai Morales of Jericho and NYPD Blue, Paula Malcomson of Deadwood and ER and Golden Globe nominee Polly Walker of Cane and Rome fame.

Set 50 years before Battlestar Galactica, Caprica follows two rival families , the Graystones and the Adamas , as they grow, compete, and thrive in the vibrant world of the 12 Colonies, a society perceptibly similar to our own. The two families will wage war against each other — blending action with corporate conspiracy and sexual politics. While being simultaneously enmeshed in the burgeoning technology of artificial intelligence and robotics that will eventually lead to the creation of the Cylons.

Production on the series is slated to begin in the summer of 2009 in Vancouver for a 2010 premiere.
