The Los Angeles Times is reporting that the SciFi Channel will announce tomorrow that it has renewed the show for a fourth season:
For a while, things looked iffy for “Battlestar Galactica.” After the Sci Fi Channel last month moved the third-season drama about a human resistance movement against an occupying race of robots from Friday nights to Sunday nights in an attempt to goose ratings, viewership remained stagnant.
The network has ruled, however, that the show won’t live by numbers alone: The Sci Fi Channel is expected to announce Tuesday that it has renewed the series for a fourth season. At least 13 new episodes will be produced this summer for a premiere next January.
And it looks like things are just starting to get interesting:
Moore and Eick recently confirmed rampant online speculation that by the end of the season, one of the main characters would be revealed as a Cylon, the robotic race set on wiping out its human counterparts.
It’s been fairly obvious throughout the third season that this would be happening, and there are plenty of suspects. If the past is any indication, though, it won’t be anyone we’re expecting.
