The Battlestar Galactica Universe Heads to Paramount+ and Pluto TV on May 1

Beginning May 1, Battlestar Galactica—one of the most iconic and influential sci-fi franchises of all time—lands on Paramount+ and Pluto TV following a deal with NBCUniversal Global TV Distribution. From the critically acclaimed miniseries to all four seasons and the feature-length film The Plan, audiences can experience the full scope of humanity’s fight for survival on streaming once again.

On Paramount+, the universe expands even further with Caprica, the gripping prequel set decades before the fall of the Twelve Colonies, offering deeper insight into the origins of the Cylon uprising and the families at the center of it all.

Led by powerhouse performances from Edward James Olmos and Mary McDonnell, Battlestar Galactica redefined the genre with its bold storytelling, complex characters, and timely themes—following the last remnants of humanity as they flee a devastating Cylon attack and search for a new home among the stars.

Whether revisiting the fleet or discovering it for the first time, viewers can watch on demand on Paramount+ and Pluto TV, or tune into Pluto TV’s dedicated Battlestar Galactica channel, free and always on.

The fleet assembles May 1 on Paramount+ and Pluto TV.
