Yes, really. The last line of the first article specifically says, “It is believed that the new Battlestar Galactica movie, which is being produced by Bluegrass Films, will again reboot the franchise.” (emphasis mine). This article is a couple of years old and probably should be discounted in this context.
However, the first line of the second article (dated only 2 days ago) specifically says, “Dylan Clark is also producing the long-gestating feature adaptation of the cult favorite TV series.” (emphasis mine), rekindling the movie effort.
If anything, this might imply that a series might be undertaken only after a feature film is done. And that’s total conjecture on my part, in a wild attempt to find some seriously deep subtext laying between the lines. Nothing explicitly mentioned about parallel development of a feature and a series, as you suggest.
Taking into account the sordid history of multiple attempts at another post-RDM reboot over the years, July is ancient history. The second cited article is the latest on record, pretty much negating all that came before (as previous articles have also done).
Please don’t misunderstand - I would absolutely LOVE to see a new movie AND series. I just don’t see that happening right now, largely because I don’t think most people in Hollywood quite know how to handle the property (as has been evidenced by many of the cited historical attempts), but also the whole COVID thing tends to assist placing all well-made plans in the flaming dumpster of production hell.
