Caprica is a prequel to the Sci-Fi Channel show Battlestar Galactica, which is currently in development by Ronald D. Moore, David Eick and Remi Aubuchon. The show will star Esai Morales and Paula Malcomson.

Caprica takes place approximately 50 years before the events of Battlestar Galactica, where the Twelve Colonies are still at peace and the Cylon rebellion has not yet occured. The show focuses on the relationship between two families, the Adamas and the Graystones. When the Graystone's daughter, Zoe, is killed, her parents Amanda and Daniel try to reconstruct a robotic version of her to cope with their loss. The result is the first Cylon, which the Graystones call Eve. Joseph Adama (played by Esai Morales), William Adama's father, is a world renowned attorney who immediately speaks out against the Graystones' experiments and acts to stop them from building more Cylons.
