This original, standalone series will feature the passion, intrigue, political backbiting, and family conflict in an omnipotent society that is at the height of its blind power and glory…and, unknowingly, on the brink of its fall..." Caprica also stars actors Paula Malcomson ('Amanda Graystone'), Polly Walker ('Sister Clarice Willow'), Magda Apanowicz ('Lacy') and Alessandra Torresani (Zoe Graystone). The series is from Universal Cable Productions and is executive produced by David Eick and Jane Espenson. Jeffrey "Friday Night Lights" Reiner directed the pilot.
