According to ew.com, the final five will be seen back-to-back on Tuesday, January 4, on Syfy.

"SFy has confirmed to EW that the final five episodes of Caprica will air back-to-back on Tuesday, Jan. 4 starting at 6 p.m. ET," the site reported.

Executive Producer David Eick told EW  that he was surprised when the cable channel delayed airing what may turn out to be the program's last hours.

"I understand that these are rarely simple decisions and I know the current leadership at Syfy genuinely loved the show and were hell-bent on protecting it and seeing it succeed," Eick said. "Caprica was an extremely smart, unique show and it'll take quite some time for me to get used to the idea that it's really gone."

Plus, we have details on the DVD release of Season 1,5 on December 21 via this press release.


UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif., Nov. 11 - The critically acclaimed drama from executive producers Ronald D. Moore and David Eick comes to a thrilling climax in "Caprica" Season 1.5. Fifty-eight years before the events of Battlestar Galactica, mankind is wrestling with the question of what makes one human, and sealing its own fate of certain destruction.

As the season races towards its stunning conclusion the seeds are sown for the inevitable, brutal clash between the newly-born Cylon race and its human creators.
