Caprica, the long mooted prequel has finally been confirmed:
Cult - News - 'Battlestar Galactica' prequel confirmed - Digital Spy
"A Battlestar Galactica prequel entitled Caprica has reportedly been confirmed by the Sci Fi Channel.

According to Variety, the network's president David Howe announced the production of a two-hour pilot during a presentation in New York on Tuesday. Caprica, named after the planet conquered by the villainous Cylons, will be written by Rene Aubuchon and Ronald D Moore, with Jeff Reiner set to direct. Casting will reportedly begin shortly.

Battlestar Galactica's fourth season, due to be screened in the UK from early April, will be its last. It is currently unknown whether any actors will reprise their roles from the show in Caprica."

Esai Morales is Joseph Adama, William's father and Paula Malcolmson is Amanda Graystone, the matriarch of the Graystone family:
Caprica Cast Coming Together | The Underwire from Wired.com
"Caprica Cast Coming Together
By Lewis Wallace May 07, 2008

The Battlestar Galactica prequel Caprica is adding actors at warp speed.

Esai Morales will play Joseph Adama, father of Galactica's interstellar Cylon-buster William Adama, in the two-hour Caprica pilot, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Morales played Maj. Edward Beck in CBS' troubled but beloved series Jericho.

Paula Malcomson will play Amanda Graystone, Caprica's female lead, according to Sci Fi Wire. The hard-edged actress previously appeared on ABC's Lost, and played reformed whore Trixie in HBO's foul-mouthed Western Deadwood.

Caprica will reportedly follow in Galactica's gritty footsteps and revolve around the Adama and Graystone families. The show will portray events 50 or so years prior to the Cylon sneak attack that kicked off Sci Fi's re-imagined series about a rag-tag band of humans searching for a new home on Earth.

The prequel will begin filming this summer, with a year-end release, according to SyFy Portal."
