Syfy moves up 'Caprica' return

The Syfy Network has confirmed that Caprica will return in October, three months earlier than originally planned.

It was announced in July that the second half of the Battlestar Galactica spinoff's first season would not air until January next year.

Syfy executive Mark Stern told Deadline: "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. 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."

Caprica creator David Eick previously expressed confusion at the decision to postpone the series. The remainder of the first season will now air after new episodes of Stargate Universe.

No decision has yet been made regarding a second season of Caprica.
