Battlestar Renewed For Season 4

SCI FI Channel announced that it has renewed its Peabody-winning 
original series Battlestar Galactica, ordering 13 new episodes. 
Production will resume this summer in Vancouver, Canada, with an eye 
toward a January 2008 premiere.

The decision comes after the series' successful move to a new 10 p.m. 
timeslot on Sundays. Since moving, Battlestar Galactica's audience has 
grown over its third-season average by 8 percent in total viewers, by 
double digits in female viewers, by 19 percent in the show's target 
demographic of adults aged 18-49 and by 14 percent in adults 25-54. The 
Jan. 28 episode, "Taking a Break From All Your Worries," delivered 2.5 
million total viewers and 1.6 million adults 18-49, the largest audience 
for any episode since the season-two premiere.

"We're thrilled to bring Battlestar back for another season," Mark 
Stern, SCI FI's executive vice president of programming, said in a 
statement. "This series has delivered on every level, from the writing 
to the acting to the production values. SCI FI is proud to be the home 
of the best show on television."

The series is from NBC Universal Television Studio and is 
executive-produced by Ronald D. Moore and David Eick. Its cast is led by 
Edward James Olmos, Mary McDonnell, Katee Sackhoff, Jamie Bamber, James 
Callis, Tricia Helfer and Grace Park. Battlestar recently returned with 
the second half of its third original season, immediately following SCI 
FI's newest original series, The Dresden Files.

"While we never had any doubt that SCI FI would get behind a fourth 
season of Battlestar, it's thrilling to finally make it official, and 
for Ron and I to continue using this great genre to investigate the 
darker corners of society, politics and humanity," executive producer 
David Eick said in a statement.
