Battlestar Galactica Heads to Paramount+ and Pluto TV on May 1 Under NBCU Deal

The licensing pact lowers the barrier to watch the reimagined saga by adding a subscription home alongside a free, ad-supported option.

Overview

  • NBCUniversal Global TV Distribution announced Thursday a licensing deal that brings the franchise to Paramount+ and Pluto TV starting May 1.
  • Both services will stream the 2003 miniseries, Seasons 1–4 of the reimagined series, and the 2009 TV movie The Plan.
  • Caprica Season 1 will be available on Paramount+ only, while Pluto TV offers free, ad-supported access to the core run.
  • Inverse reports that the classic 1978 series and the 2007 TV film Razor are not part of this package.
  • Media outlets are rolling out viewing guides and essential-episode lists timed to the launch to help new and returning fans dive in.
