Last September, it was announced that a reboot of Ron D. Moore's acclaimed Battlestar Galactica (which itself was a remake) was in development at NBC, headed up by Mr. Robot creator Sam Esmail. Following online speculation about what the show might include, Esmail took to Twitter to clarify that the show would "NOT be a remake," but instead a new story within the mythology. Now creator of the 2004 series Ron Moore has confirmed Esmail's BSG designs, while speaking to Variety about his Starz series Outlander. “Sam called me and was very gracious," Moore said, about when the BSG reboot news came through.
