The Sci-Fi Channel announced today that the second season of former STAR TREK writer Ronald D. Moore's BATTLESTAR GALACTICA will debut this summer. The first season of thirteen episodes is currently airing Friday nights on the cable network.

According to a network release, BATTLESTAR has averaged over 3 million viewers since its January 14th debut in the U.S. The show has become "a ratings juggernaut, catapulting SCI FI to the top spot in cable among P25-54 for five consecutive Fridays," reads the release.

The second season order is for 20 episodes that will begin production in Vancouver, Canada next month. No exact date has been set for the show's summer 2005 premiere. Sci-Fi reports that the entire cast will return to their roles and Moore and producer David Eick will continue on. BATTLESTAR is Sci-Fi's highest-rated original series.

BSG airs Friday nights at 10 PM and season one also features the work of DS9 writers Bradley Thompson and David Weddle.

I hope that the increased order for 20 eps for S2 doesn't dilute the writing quality. I know it's only 7 more eps but still at 13 there was less time for 'filler eps'.
