“17th Precinct,” Ronald D. Moore’s proposed NBC series about cops looking after a world overrun by magic, will team “Battlestar Galactica” vet Jamie Bamber with Esai Morales, who played the Bamber character’s “Galactica” grandfather on “Caprica.”
Bamber played fighter pilot Lee Adama; Morales played mob attorney Joe Adama.
In “17th,” Morales will play police lieutenant Liam Butterfield.
The pilot will also reunite James Callis and Tricia Helfer, who played lovers and angels on “Galactica.”
Non-“Galactica” cast members involved with the “17th” pilot include Eamonn Walker (“Oz,” “Kings”) and Stockard Channing (“Grease,” “The West Wing”).
Moore masterminded both “Galactica” and prequel “Caprica” on Syfy.
