Official announcement of what I posted yesterday. Apparently the 22 hours includes the movie (rumored to deal with Pegasus before they meet up with Galactica), so it'll be 20 episodes again.
SCI FI Boosts Battlestar Order
SCI FI Channel has increased its episode order for the fourth season of Battlestar Galactica to 22 from the original 13, including a special two-hour extended episode that will air during the fourth quarter of this year and be released on DVD by Universal Studios Home Entertainment thereafter. SCI FI made the announcement at its upfront press event in New York on March 21.
Battlestar Galactica will air its season-three finale on March 25 in its regular Sunday 10 p.m. ET/PT timeslot. Production will begin on the new season in May, with an eye to an early 2008 premiere.
The series is from NBC Universal Television Studio and is executive-produced by Ronald D. Moore and David Eick.
