As part of the deal, Sci Fi also acquired the rights to the show’s first four seasons, which will be available to the network in March 2004, and 66 episodes of the weekly action hour, BeastMaster.

Starting this fall, new episodes of Andromeda will air first on Sci-Fi and then appear a week to 10 days later in syndication.
