For a while there it looked like a second season of Caprica wasn't coming at all; then there was the news that the Battlestar Galactica spin-off would indeed get a second season, but it wouldn't premiere until 2011 - now, Syfy channel has revealed that the second season of Caprica will premiere a few months earlier, by which I mean right around the corner. Caprica's second season will officially get under way October 5th, which is a Tuesday. Perhaps it is a bit telling that Stargate: Universe will serve as Caprica's lead-in at 9pm EST - is Syfy counting on some of that Stargate magic to rub off on Caprica? Does that seem right?
Rumors earlier in the year suggested that Caprica's second season will jump ahead a bit in the mythology and make faster moves towards the accretion of the Cylon empire. Critcs of Caprica often bemoan the histrionic plot-lines and Peyton Place-ish soap opera nature of the show. Whether or not this involves a time jump at all is anybody's guess, but a move towards the Battlestar universe we know and away from the Earthisms would definitely be a plus in this writer's book.
Syfy also used the opportunity to announce that the third season of Sanctuary would be relaunching on Friday, October 15th at 10pm est following two hours of WWE Wrestling - because wrestling is so Sci-Fi.
The highly anticipated return of Syfy’s critically-acclaimed series Caprica will come even sooner than anticipated. The second half of season one will now premiere on Tuesday, October 5, 2010 at 10:00PM ET/PT, the channel announced today. Fans will no longer have to wait until January to watch the series exciting kick-off, as the citizens of Caprica deal with the chaotic aftermath of the mid-season finale’s harrowing events.
The second half of season one will transport us from stunningly vivid, twisted Virtual realities to the fascinating outer worlds of the 12 Colonies. Along the way, revolutionary tensions rise, family power shifts and our characters grapple with the physical and emotional consequences of their questionable decisions. As the season races towards its stunning conclusion, each episode lays the groundwork for the inevitable (and brutal) clash between the new Cylon race and its human creators.
“Though we initially announced the January return of Caprica, we still had hopes of finding a way to get the series back on the air sooner,” said Mark Stern, Executive Vice President of Original Programming, Syfy and Co-Head of Content for Universal Cable Productions. “We’ve been able to successfully re-work our schedule, and are thrilled to bring the show back during what is traditionally Syfy’s most-watched time of the year. The outcome should also please fans who expressed their wishes for a shorter mid-season hiatus.”
Caprica stars Eric Stoltz (Daniel Graystone), Paula Malcomson (Amanda Graystone), Esai Morales (Joseph Adama), Polly Walker (Sister Clarice Willow), Alessandra Torresani (Zoe Graystone), Magda Apanowicz (Lacy) and Sasha Roiz (Sam Adama).
I've just begun to watch BSG. I saw the mini series and the first episode, 33, I believe it's called. It's excellent stuff, especially to fill that 24 and LOST gap. I hope that Caprica gets closer to space, because that's what makes the series.
I can't wait to see Caprica wether they get to space or not. it's great and i want to see when zoe gets her physical body back and that stupid quasi religious woman gets her ass handed to her as well. i also liked the part about lacey becoming the holy mother and what she tells Clarisse. That is CLASSIC!!!
'I really think you should kneel'
DS I agree space or not! @Anonymous: How much further in space can you get? I mean they are on Caprica not Earth right?

it is 1.5 not S-2
this first episode is 1×10 of S-1 or 1.5 as they choose to say.
It's no wonder I stopped watching Syfy channel. Their pitiful excuse for science fiction is laughable. They should be airing 'Land of the Lost'. Childrens shows are all they are capable of. Sanctuary is another childs program. They need to move to Nickalodeon.
They finally get a really great SF show (Caprica) and they blow it away. Caprica is real SF. What Syfy channel has is strange soap operas.
I so loved Caprica, but you could see the budget dropping. once they wrote in that capCity was to be revamped into a cheap every other persons on back yard/woods. was the a depressing sign.. had great writers and wonderful acting… But as for SGU.. the worst StarGate series ever wrote.. bad writers. acting, but i feel the acting was down to the poor directing.. it reminded me of "Lost" and "The Lord of the Flies" in lost no matter how many times a bad guy messed up they always kept him alive and befriended him… in Lord of the Flies.. a bunch of kids fighting over pissing areas……….BRING BACK CAPRICA…….DOWN WITH SGU…..
P.S oh and that they wrote in that Coronal Young. did not let the atmosphere in when the alliance boarded. cause he was protecting a trader.. and in doing this led to TJ being shot and her and young's baby being KILLED.. should have left the StarGate out the whole Series and called it .. um. Like a new Lost in Space.. that may have worked..
SGU does suck, it seems however, that the final episodes are coming soo, from what syfy is saying and I say, 'good riddance!' the first Stargate was awesome. this was a disaster from the moment they showed the guy from young guns in it.
ICAN'T BELIEVE IT!!! ICAN'T WAIT!ICAN'TWAITICAN'TWAIT!!!THANK THE GODS!!!THANK ZOE, THANK THE HEAVENLY MOTHER (LACY) A CURSE ON THAT BITCH FROM APOTHEOSIS!!!
ICAN'TWAITICAN'TWAITICAN'TWAIT!!!CAN'TWAITCAN'TWAITCAN'TWAIT!!!
THANK THE GODS.
