BBC America

We're just a few weeks away from the US premiere of Series 4 of "Being Human" on BBC America (while the UK gets it on February 5th, we have to a wait a bit longer until the 25th), and in honor of the occasion we have a gallery of new photos offering a sneak peek of what's ahead.

After being teased for weeks that Series 4 of BBC Three's "Being Human" is "coming soon", we finally have the show's premiere date... both in the UK on BBC3 and in the US on BBC America!

It only says "coming soon" with no firm premiere date mentioned, but finally a launch trailer has arrived from BBC Three for the fourth series of the network's fan favorite "Being Human". We also have an expanded synopsis of the season to share.

More details are emerging with regard to the changes being made in Series 4 of BBC3's "Being Human", and along with a new cast photo, we have character profiles, comments from the three leads, and a breakdown of the writers for the eight upcoming episodes. In addition Sinead Keenan (Nina)'s departure has finally been confirmed.

With its January 16th second season premiere date looming, we've been focusing on Syfy's version of "Being Human", but the original UK show on which it's based is about to debut its fourth series on BBC3 later this month, and creator Toby Whithouse has fired up his blog to pass on a few tidbits of what we can expect. In addition, we've come across the titles of all eight Series 4 episodes, which we're happy to share.

There we were, enjoying our Saturday morning coffee and catching up with Twitter, when we saw a tweet from Russell Tovey, one of the stars of the UK version of "Being Human", saying that he's leaving the show. First Mitchell, now George?!? Talk about ruining your weekend! Anyway, read on for the sad, but true details.

One aspect of BBC America's "Supernatural Saturday" lineup that we've been looking forward to is the six-part series "Bedlam", and those of us attending the San Diego Comic-Con will be given a sneak peek of the show during an exclusive U.S. premiere screening and Q&A to be held Friday evening, July 22nd.

This Saturday night, February 19th, "Being Human" returns to BBC America with Episode 1 of season three, and if you just can't wait for its debut, here are the first five minutes during which Mitchell enters Purgatory to look for Annie but finds himself amidst the ruins of his own past sins...

As avid fans of the original "Being Human" from the UK, we're happy to see the show come back for its third season of ghostly, vampiric, snarling mayhem. If you're busy enjoying the Syfy Americanized version, believe us; you need to track down the source material. It's even better. From the Press Release

Syfy isn't the only network gearing up to attract horror/sci-fi viewers on Saturday nights as BBC America has demonstrated its commitment to the genre with the recent announcement of a refreshed primetime slate for "Supernatural Saturdays". In this slot the channel will roll out three all new co-productions, "Primeval", "Outcasts" and "Bedlam".

We're well aware that the UK's awesomely fun TV series "Primeval" is more sci-fi than horror, but damnit, it's full of dinosaurs and tons of other scary creatures so while we'll not be covering it full-time here on DC, we do want to make our readers aware of its return to the airwaves in BOTH the UK and the US simultaneously on January 1, 2011. From the Press Release:

If you haven't been watching Season Two of "Being Human" on BBC America, you're really missing out. We're halfway through the eight-episode storyline already, but thanks to On Demand, you should be able to catch up. For those who have been watching, we've got video chats with Lenora Crichlow and Sinead Keenan to help get you geared up for the rest of the season.

We're exactly a month away from the madness known as the San Diego Comic-Con so expect a flurry of guest and panel announcements over the next couple of weeks. On today's list is "Being Human" creator/writer Toby Whithouse joining cast members Russell Tovey, Lenora Crichlow, Aidan Turner, and Sinead Keenan at the big show.

We already knew that the UK's stellar "Being Human" TV series is returning to BBC America this summer with eight new episodes, but now we have the exact date along with a synopsis of each installment. Proceed at your own risk as spoilers abound!

The coolest damned shows have been coming from the BBC lately. "Primeval", "Survivors", etc., have been in regular rotation around the Dread Central offices; and we're happy to announce one of our favorite shows (which also happens to be up for Americanization by Syfy), "Being Human", is coming home on both DVD and Blu-ray high definition!
