Caprica is a science fiction drama television series. It is a spin-off prequel of the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica, taking place about 58 years prior to the events of Battlestar Galactica. Caprica shows how humanity first created the robotic Cylons who would later plot to destroy humans in retaliation for their enslavement.
The show debuted on January 22, 2010 on Syfy in the U.S. and Sky1 in the U.K., although an extended version of the pilot premiered exclusively on DVD and digital download on April 21, 2009. The first season aired nine episodes, including the two hour pilot, before going on a mid-season hiatus. The second half of the first season (Season 1.5) began airing on October 5, 2010 on Syfy. In the UK, Season 1.5 is scheduled to air in January 2011.
On October 27, 2010, Syfy canceled the show, citing low ratings, and pulled the remaining five episodes of the series from its broadcast schedule. The remaining episodes will air during the first quarter of 2011. (source: wikipedia)
