The SyFy Portal just posted this little bit of news up. It appears that we will be seeing a third season of Battlestar Galactica. Keep in mind that this is still rumor, not 100% confirmed.
'Battlestar Galactica,' 'Atlantis' To See Third Seasons Author: Wayne Hall Date: 09-11-2005 Source: SyFy Portal
How much confidence does SciFi Channel have in two of its three top shows? Enough to pretty much give them a go-ahead for a third season.
Sources at SciFi Channel are reporting that SciFi has unofficially decided to award both "Battlestar Galactica" and "Stargate: Atlantis" third-season pickups. The news was shared by SyFy Portal's Michael Hinman during a guest appearance on Sci-Fi Saturday Night on New Hampshire's 610 WGIR.
During the show, Hinman -- who appeared by telephone in the show's final hour -- said he had received unconfirmed reports that the third-season pickups have been decided. SciFi normally does not announce fate of shows during the first half of the seasons, which end this month. No word has been received on the fate of "Stargate: SG-1," but many industry insiders feel that the SciFi stalwart will see an unprecedented 10th season next summer.
"Battlestar Galactica" aired for the first time on SciFi in January for an extended half-season run, quickly earning a second season after strong ratings that beat out even new episodes of "Star Trek: Enterprise" on UPN. The show is in the middle of its second season, still enjoying strong ratings despite some audience erosion seen across the board. It stars Edward James Olmos and Mary McDonnell, and has been critically-acclaimed in the mainstream media.
"Atlantis" is a spinoff of "SG-1," and also has enjoyed strong ratings since its debut in Summer 2004. It airs at 9 p.m. ET, just before "Galactica," on SciFi.
Both series will end their first-half season run this month, and will return for new episodes in January.
I wonder if they'll be upping Stargate SG-1 for Season 10.
