Among the many former dramas that have made for great binge-watch material is Ronald D. Moore's Battlestar Galactica remake. With four seasons (and a miniseries), it's actually a pretty manageable binge-watch, for those not looking for a show that'll take them the whole year to watch the full series. On top of that, there are multiple ways to watch Battlestar Galactica streaming.
With the new Battlestar Galactica series coming to Peacock, now is the perfect time to catch up with the 2004 remake, all its great characters, and memorable storylines centering on a surviving fleet of humans who are attempting to escape repeated assaults by humanoid robots called Cylons.
How To Watch Battlestar Galactica
That may seem like an obvious point to make. If you've seen the show and are familiar with Battlestar Galactica’s ending, feel free to skip this section, but if you're new to the series, you should know that you must start with the miniseries. Not only is that the beginning of the story — it introduces many of the characters and some major elements in the story — but it's also a great way to test the waters and decide if this is the show for you.
You probably heard Battlestar Galactica is great. And you're probably like, "yeah, but I don't really like space shows. People keep telling me not to worry about that, though." Watch the Battlestar miniseries. If you love it, dive into the series. If you don't like the miniseries, well you can say you tried.
How To Watch Battlestar Galactica Streaming
At this point, there are a few options for how to watch Battlestar Galactica streaming. We'll start with the standard streaming options (both paid and free) before working our way to the options where you can purchase the entire series and not have to worry about it disappearing from your favorite streamer.
Peacock
As far as streaming options go, there are few better ways to enjoy Battlestar Galactica than on Peacock, which in addition to hosting all four seasons of the critically acclaimed sci-fi drama, also gives its subscribers access to the three-hour miniseries first released in the fall of 2003. Those who are new to Battlestar Galactica should start there before working their way to the main series as it serves as the set-up for the epic space drama, especially as we wait for more progress on the new series.
