The ascending ratings made it a practical inevitability; steadily increasing with each episode, Battlestar Galactica has quickly distinguished itself as the new standard for television science fiction. The most recent episode, “You Can't Go Home Again,�

Hey I just watched all this series and its well cool

All except the last two episode were of extremely high standard, whilst the last two were great, I just felt it slipped a bit. All that religious mumbo jumbo was what did it I think.

Galactica Returns This Summer

SCI FI Channel announced that the second season of its hit original series Battlestar Galactica will premiere this summer, with 20 new episodes. The channel added that the entire ensemble cast will return for season two, including Edward James Olmos, Mary McDonnell, Katee Sackhoff, Jamie Bamber, James Callis, Tricia Helfer and Grace Park. Also resuming their roles are executive producer and writer Ronald D. Moore and executive producer David Eick.

Galacticar will resume production in Vancouver, B.C., in March and will again anchor the channel's SCI FI Friday block of prime-time original series.

The series, which premiered on January 14, has been averaging over 3 million viewers per episode and has quickly become SCI FI's highest-rated original series and has received unprecedented critical acclaim. Galactica airs Fridays at 10 p.m. ET, part of the channel's successful SCI FI Friday lineup, which also includes Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis. Galactica ends its first season with a finale episode on April 1.

And what about on SkyOne?? Are they going to be showing and if so will it be playing before the states get it???

[Blade Runner]

I'm not privvy to that info at the moment but Sci-fi's parent company, NBC are helping with the funding. I think Sky did it's tactical marketing bit by drumming up interest in the series by showing season 1 here first but to be honest I see it going the way of the Stargates and star treks, basically October/September start for the UK.

[spudthedestroyer]

if i'm not mistaken, sky one has fronted money for a lot of these big tv series, they 'seemingly' get shafted in return though, however, this isn't always the case. American channels air half a series, then wait and then the other half, whereas over here, we don't tend to schedule the series until its available fully.

So what happens, like with farscape, buffy and angel, etc., although they are shown first in the states at the begining, by the end of the series, they end up being shown in the uk first. Then again, at 13 episodes long lets hope there's no break

Either way, I don't care, I simply don't watch any plot/content driven programmes on tv because adverts just spoil it far, far too much, not to mention inconvient scheduling.

Can't wait for video on demand or official net releases myself. Scheduled tv needs to die, its just so inflexible unless its light entertainment or disposable tv.

Come on BBC, where are those archives you keep talking about opening?

Galactica Report: Details for Second Season
Sci Fi & SKY One order 20 more episodes.

February 23, 2005 -

Sci Fi & SKY Officially Renew Galactica:

The Sci Fi Channel announced today that it has officially renewed Ron Moore's "re-imagined" Battlestar Galactica for a second season. One of the worst kept secrets in the entertainment industry, Sci Fi confirmed that they would be renewing the series weeks ago but hadn't released any details until now.

Galactica's second season will consist of 20 episodes, 7 more than it had during its first season. The Vancouver, Canada based production is set to start back up in March for a summer premiere on the Sci Fi Channel as part of the network's highly successful Sci Fi Friday lineup of original programming.

Given the short lead time, it is unlikely that SKY One will have the kind of advance start fans saw during the first season. Battlestar Galactica premiered late last year in the UK, prompting fans in other countries to look to the internet to see the episodes. A recent report the the British press listed Battlestar Galactica as one of the top 10 television series traded over the Internet, along with fellow Sci Fi Channel productions Stargate: SG-1 and Stargate: Atlantis.

The entire cast will be back for the second season, including Edward James Olmos, Mary McDonnell, Katee Sackhoff, Jamie Bamber, James Callis, Tricia Helfer and Grace Park. Executive producer and writer Ronald D. Moore and executive producer David Eick are also returning to the jobs they held last season.

Fans have asked about the status of Richard Hatch, star of the original Galactica series who has appeared in a couple of episodes in the first season. No official word has been released on the subject but sources involved with the series have indicated to IGNFF that fans should expect to see Hatch return to the series next season.

Battlestar Galactica has quickly become the ratings anchor of Sci Fi's Friday night lineup, averaging around 3 million viewers per week.
