Return to 'Caprica' in January, 2011 
Syfy announces broadcast date of Season One, Part Two
By Michael Simpson | Wednesday, July 21, 2010
Syfy has officially announced when Battlestar Galactica prequel Caprica will return for the second half of its first season: January 2011. The first half of the season aired early this year, meaning that Season One of the series will end over a year after it first premiered. Syfy ran Caprica's early episodes immedately after the end of Season 1.0 of Stargate Universe. That show premiered in 2009. Like Caprica, SGU proved to be controversial among fans of the franchise that spawned it. It has since completed its first season and a second is in production.
A trailer for Caprica's return will be revealed at the show's Comic-Con panel on July 23 before going out online. More details are given below in the Caprica press release we received from Syfy:
New York, New York – July 21, 2010 – Syfy has announced the highly-anticipated return of critically-acclaimed series Caprica. The second half of season one premieres in January 2011 (date TBA), and kicks off with a thrilling pace as the citizens of Caprica deal with the chaotic aftermath of the mid-season finale’s harrowing events.
In season 1.5, the once idyllic world of Caprica – as well as life across the colonies – falls prey to an explosive chain reaction of consequences set off by the characters’ many questionable actions in the season’s first half. Tensions rise, power shifts and the line between reality and the virtual world becomes increasingly blurred as everyone struggles to learn – and conquer – the stakes in this volatile setting. As the season races towards its stunning conclusion, events of each episode lay the framework for the inevitable (and brutal) clash between the newly-created Cylon race and their human creators.
An all-new trailer for season 1.5 will premiere at Caprica’s Comic-Con panel on July 23, and before landing on Syfy.com, it will be available exclusively on Microsoft’s Zune Marketplace on Xbox LIVE and Windows PCs through the Zune PC software available for free at www.zune.net. (July 26).
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).
Caprica is a prequel to the award-winning series Battlestar Galactica. The series is from Universal Cable Productions, and is executive produced by Ronald D. Moore and David Eick. Jonas Pate serves as co-executive producer and director.

And presumably it will be airing on Tuesdays instead of Fridays. RIP Caprica.
Really?

Let's face it folks, if it takes a whole year to air the SECOND half of a season, it's a whole new season. Who exactly does SyFy think they're kidding? There is no Season 1.5 for Caprica. It had a VERY short first season, will have a VERY short second season. I doubt it will make it past a third season at this point, as the network has alienated a large chunk of it's fanbase with season splits, vague return dates, and mind-numbing soul-crushing "UnReality" show "Blocks" in place of quality programming.
