Caprica is a science fiction drama television series. It is a spin-off prequel of the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica, taking place about 58 years prior to the events of Battlestar Galactica. Caprica shows how humanity first created the robotic Cylons who would later plot to destroy humans in retaliation for their enslavement. The North American-made show debuted on January 22, 2010, although an extended version of the pilot premiered exclusively on DVD and digital download on April 21, 2009.[1] The first season aired nine episodes, including the two hour pilot, through March 26, 2010. Another nine episodes were supposed to be broadcast from January 2011 but on September 9, Syfy revealed Caprica would be returning sooner than expected on October 5, 2010, at 10 pm, bumping Sanctuary to Friday nights.[2] In the UK however, Caprica will be withheld until January 2011 when Sky broadcasts it on the flagship channel Sky1 due to a busy schedule with other series in the buildup to Christmas
