‘Galactica’ to end after fourth season

The producers of the Sci Fi Channel’s “Battlestar Galactica” confirmed Friday that they have decided to bring the space series to a close after the fourth season, which begins in 2008.

“This show was always meant to have a beginning, a middle and, finally, an end,” executive producers Ronald Moore and David Eick said in a statement released by the cable channel. “Over the course of the last year, the story and the characters have been moving strongly toward that end, and we’ve decided to listen to those internal voices and conclude the show on our own terms.”
