Set 50 years before Battlestar Galactica, Caprica follows two rival families – the Graystones and the Adamas.

His wife, Amanda Graystone (Paula Malcolmson, Deadwood, ER) is an elite neurosurgeon. Joseph Adama (Esai Morales, NYPD Blue) is an immigrant, a lawyer with ties to the mob, and a father who is desperate to reconnect with his estranged son, William (Sina Najafi).
The two-hour prequel will air on Sky1 and Sky1 HD in November 2008. |
