Battlestar Galactica Added to BBC iPlayer

The BBC has acquired the cult sci-fi hit Battlestar Galactica from NBCUniversal Global Distribution, bringing it to BBC iPlayer as a box set.

Every episode of the series, which originally broadcast between 2004 and 2009, will be available to watch on iPlayer from September 5. On the same day, BBC Two will begin airing the sci-fi show in a 9:45 p.m. slot.

Dan McGolpin, controller of BBC iPlayer, said: “Battlestar Galactica is regarded as one of the best sci-fi series ever made and it holds appeal for anyone who loves to immerse themselves in top-quality drama. It joins Fort Salem, Heroes, Devs, His Dark Materials, Doctor Who and Torchwood to form an incredible range of science fiction and fantasy series available on-demand on BBC iPlayer.”
