From Wikipedia:
"Battlestar Galactica: The Second Coming was a project to create a pilot film for a proposed new Battlestar Galactica television series that would pick up where the original 1978 series left off. All continuity related to Galactica 1980 would have been completely ignored."
Only a pilot film of The Second Coming was made in 1998-99 which was executive produced and co-directed by Richard Hatch who reprised his role as Apollo. Also in it were Richard Lynch (in place of Patrick Macnee as Count Iblis), John Colicos (Count Baltar), and Terry Carter (Colonel Tigh).
Hatch however did not succeed in getting Universal's attention for The Second Coming. Battlestar Galactica eventually returned to television via a different project that of Ron Moore's reimagined version.
The thirty minute pilot film of The Second Coming has never been shown publicly. Richard Hatch however did show a trailer at science fiction conventions and it proved to be popular.
I have just seen the trailer myself and I think I would have enjoyed The Second Coming as a series than Ron Moore's reimagined BSG.
