Tricia Helfer, 'Battlestar Galactica'

The final 10 episodes will run through March 20

Mid-January marks the beginning of the end for " Battlestar Galactica" fans.

The acclaimed Sci Fi Channel show will return with the second half of its fourth and final season on Friday, Jan. 16 at 10 p.m. ET/PT.

So that means just before our new president takes office, "Battlestar" will pick up from June's cliffhanger, during which the Colonial fleet and their Cylon allies finally discover Earth, only to find it a barren nuclear wasteland.

The final 10 episodes of the Peabody-winning show will end with the ultimate finale on March 20.

Those wanting just a bit more "Battlestar" can also look forward to the previously announced "Battlestar Galactica" two-hour special next year starring Michael Trucco, Aaron Douglas and Dean Stockwell reprising their roles as Sam T. Anders, Chief Galen Tyrol and Cavil.
