Sci Fi Channel has increased its fourth season order of “Battlestar Galactica” to 22 episodes. The order will include a special two-hour “Battlestar” event to air during the fourth quarter of 2007 on Sci Fi, and will also be released on DVD. Previously, the network announced a reduced “Battlestar” season order of 13 episodes rather than 22. Combined with a slight ratings erosion during the show’s current third season, fans worried Sci Fi might cancel the Peabody Award-winning show. The fourth season will premiere in early 2008. “Battlestar” is executive produced by Ronald D. Moore and David Eick. The two-hour “event” is said to deal with the Battlestar Pegasus shortly after the start of Cylon War II. Season three concludes Sunday.

Ronald D. Moore, executive producer of SCI FI Channel’s original series Battlestar Galactica, told fans that the upcoming third season of the hit SF series could see some fatalities among the characters. “Oh, there’re some changes in the air,” Moore said at the 64th World Science Fiction Convention, or WorldCon, in Anaheim, California, over the weekend. “We’re going to lose some people this year. Not all of our friends are going to make it all the way.” Moore declined to be specific, but said that the show’s writers have finished breaking the story arc for the end of the upcoming third season.
When asked whether the show was still true to his initial vision, Moore said he felt it was on track, but that there had been surprises along the way, from both writers and actors, that made both the storyline and the characters richer.
Season three of Battlestar Galactica begins airing October 6 at 9 p.m. ET/PT.
