Being Human Returns to BBC America July 24th
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!
From the Press Release:
The highly anticipated second season of Touchpaper Television and BBC America co-production “Being Human” premieres Saturday, July 24th, directly following the “Doctor Who” season finale. Russell Tovey, Lenora Crichlow, and Aidan Turner return as George, Annie, and Mitchell, the three twenty-somethings trying to live as normally as possible despite being a werewolf, a ghost, and a vampire.
After the death of vampire leader Herrick at the end of Season One, the supernatural friends are hoping they can now get on with their lives, but an even greater danger is lurking within the very human world of which they want to be a part. Unbeknown to the trio, the mysterious Professor Jaggat and her cold-hearted colleague Kemp – religious zealots who have discovered the existence of vampires, werewolves and ghosts – are determined to carry out brutal experiments and destroy them.
While Professor Jaggat and Kemp plot behind the scenes, werewolf George is coming to terms with the fact that he has Herrick’s blood on his hands and a girlfriend who knows his horrific secret. Turning down the door of death has implications for ghost Annie, but her confidence is at a peak and she’s determined to stand up and be counted in the real world. And, with Herrick gone, Mitchell must appease an out-of-control vampire world – can he find a way to lead by example?

The only light at the end of the tunnel is his burgeoning relationship with Lucy Jaggat, the feisty new doctor at work, who studies werewolves, vampires, and ghosts. George, reeling from Nina’s departure, takes his mind off things by helping Annie in her mission to play Cupid. She’s determined to get her old boss Hugh back together with the love of his life.

But he soon recognizes that containing the wolf is an impossible task. Annie meets an enigmatic ghost who offers to help her keep Death at bay. And Mitchell falls in deeper with the vampires.
Episode Five: Mitchell’s past is revealed as well as the reasons why he turned his back on killing. In the present he’s struggling to contain that same desire and need. Things with Lucy also come to a passionate head. George’s relationship with his girlfriend, Sam, continues to grow and Annie has a shock when she’s left looking after a ghost baby.
