Galactica Gets Extra Episodes Ordered
Sci Fi Picks Up Six More Episodes
December 16, 2004 - Battlestar Galactica, the update of the classic 1979 television series that is at the center of a war between the studio that produces it and the fans who can't wait for its January, 2005 launch on the US Sci Fi Channel, has been given an extra six-episode pickup.This will the bring the total for season one to 19 episodes.
While this doesn't guarantee a second season, it is seen as a good sign. Executive producer David Eick told Sci Fi Magazine, "Just after I finished exhaling, it'll be time to jump right back into it".
The success of the series during its run on the Sky One channel in the UK has been cited as the primary reason to order more episodes before the series has even premiered in the US. The new series has generated a high amount of interest and has been one of the most active downloads in the various file trading groups, something that has worried Galactica's producer, Universal Studios, to the point of taking action against fans who would try to see the series early. This early indicator of the series' success would seem to torpedo some of the studio's own arguments against the file traders that included the possibility of diminished ratings and loss of revenue for the series.
Battlestar Galactica will premiere on the US Sci Fi Channel on January 14th, 2005.
Nowwwwwwwwwww.....
My source tells me this is inaccurate.
Season 1 has completed its filming of 13 episodes.
The 6 scripts are intended for a second season of BSG.
Just thought I'd correct some things here,
