Battlestar Ending Next Season
The producers of SCI FI Channel's Battlestar Galactica confirmed that the
upcoming fourth season will be the show's last. Executive producers Ronald
Moore and David Eick said that it was a creative decision to end the
acclaimed series with the upcoming 22-episode season.
"This show was always meant to have a beginning, a middle and, finally, an
end," Eick and Moore said in a statement on May 31. "Over the course of the
last year, the story and the characters have been moving strongly toward
that end, and we've decided to listen to those internal voices and conclude
the show on our own terms. And while we know our fans will be saddened to
know the end is coming, they should brace themselves for a wild ride getting
there: We're going out with a bang."
In November, a special two-hour Battlestar episode, "Razor," will air. The
fourth season kicks off in early 2008.
At last month's Saturn Awards, Edward James Olmos said that the upcoming
season would be the show's last, prompting Eick to say at the time that no
decision had been made. "I promise you that when Ron and I make a decision
about Galactica's future, we'll let you know," he said then.
