On Friday, Sci Fi Channel sent out a text message to subscribers with the following news:
Stargate Atlantis returns 9/28. All New Doctor Who premieres next Friday at 8/7c. Eureka Season 2 premieres July 10 at 9/8c. Happy Sci Fi July.
We’re sorry to hear that S4 won’t start until the end of September, since Joe M. has stated the renewal decision for S5 will be made soon after that. So the timing leaves little chance for S4 to prove its ratings power over the disappointing ratings for the back half of S3. But anyway at least now we know the date (although Sci Fi has been known to change dates before).
