Syfy is returning "Caprica" to the airwaves about three months earlier than originally planned, reports Nellie Andreeva at Deadline.com.

"Caprica," which is a prequel to cult series "Battlestar Galactica," was originally supposed to air the second part of its first season in January, a year after it premiered, the story says.

Now, the show will return to television on Oct. 5, airing behind new episodes of "Stargate Universe," the article notes.

There isn’t yet a renewal decision for the series starring Eric Stoltz, although a reduced order for a second season of "Caprica" is a possibility, the story says.
