Derek Simonds, creator of The Sinner, has been appointed as the new showrunner for the Battlestar Galactica reboot on Peacock.
Simonds will write and executive produce the series, taking over from Michael Lesslie.
Sam Esmail, creator of Mr. Robot, remains an executive producer on the project, which was first announced in 2019.

Esmail has hinted at unconventional release strategies for the new series, including varying episode lengths and formats.
