This series has delivered on every level - from the writing to the acting to the production values," Mark Stern at SCIFI told the Nest. "SCI FI is proud to be the home of the best show on television."
In addition to winning a Peabody Award, the series has been honored as one of the 10 Outstanding Television Programs of the Year by the American Film Institute for two years running.
"While we never had any doubt that SCI FI would get behind a fourth season of 'Battlestar,' it's thrilling to finally make it official, and for Ron and I to continue using this great genre to investigate the darker corners of society, politics and humanity," added Executive Producer David Eick.
Battlestar Galactica is the drama of human survival against unimaginable odds. When the Cylon robots rose against their human creators, they launched a devastating nuclear attack that left less than 50,000 survivors. On the run and in search of a new home, the last remnants of humanity struggle against waning supplies, weapons and hope.
The series is from NBC Universal Television Studio and is executive produced by Ronald D. Moore and David Eick. Its cast is led by Edward James Olmos, Mary McDonnell, Katee Sackhoff, Jamie Bamber, James Callis, Tricia Helfer and Grace Park. 'Battlestar' recently returned with the second half of its third original season on its new night and time, Sundays at 10pm, immediately following SCI FI's newest series, 'The Dresden Files.'
