The remake of Battlestar Galactica is now a weekly television series thanks to the success of the recent mini-series on the Sci-Fi Channel. Universal Home Video is putting the four hour special on DVD this month.

Forty years after the Cylon Wars, humanity’s deadliest enemies have reemerged with a vengeance. In a sudden, devastating nuclear attack, the Cylon robots – who have now taken human form – wipe out billions of people. Only a handful of Colonial forces are left to shepherd the few survivors to safety. Commander William Adama, the highest-ranking military officer left alive, reactivates the Battlestar Galactica to once again face humanity’s greatest nemeses. With no choice but to flee, the ragtag fleet of survivors and humanity’s only hope set out in search of the mythic 13th Colony of Kobol… a legendary planet known as Earth.

The DVD arrives on December 28th.
