According to the report, Galactica coming to an end with the upcoming 22-episode fourth season was a decision made Moore and Eick.
"This show was always meant to have a beginning, a middle and finally, an end," Eick and Moore said in a statement Thursday.
"Over the course of the last year, the story and the characters have been moving strongly toward that end and we've decided to listen to those internal voices and conclude the show on our own terms. And while we know our fans will be saddened to know the end is coming, they should brace themselves for a wild ride getting there - we're going out with a bang."
Sci Fi's executive vp original programming Mark Stern said the channel's brass "respect the producers' decision to end the series."
"We are proud to have been the home of this groundbreaking show," he said. "We have always known that Ron and David had a plan for 'Galactica' and trust that fans can look forward to a truly amazing final season."
