Being Human (North American) Renewed for Season 4

Josh (Sam Huntington) and Nora (Kristen Hager) in Being Human) North American S3 Ep 9 Of Mice and Wolfmen

I'm very excited to share the news that Being Human (North American) has indeed been renewed for a fourth season, which will air in 2014 with 13 episodes. This news came out just after the Season 3 finale aired last week, and I had a moment of worry when it wasn't out *before* the finale.

Hexed has been following Being Human (North American) since it's very first episode back in 2011. Although we've had our ups and downs on the show and the continual comparison to it's based-on predecessor Being Human UK, it still keeps us coming back for more with new interpretations, characters and story lines that set it apart.

Want more details? Here is more from the media release: "NEW YORK – April 10, 2013 – Syfy is ordering a fourth season (13 episodes) of its hit drama series Being Human, it was announced today by Mark Stern, President of Original Content, Syfy and Co-Head of Original Content, Universal Cable Productions. The announcement comes on the heels of the Season 3 finale which aired Monday, April 8 and in time for Syfy’s Upfront presentation this evening in New York City.

Being Human stars Sam Witwer, Meaghan Rath, Sam Huntington and Kristen Hager as vampire Aidan, ghost Sally and werewolves Josh and Nora. Together they struggle to suppress their supernatural secrets and temptations and live their lives as close to normal as possible.

“‘Being Human’ really hit its stride creatively this year,” said Mark Stern. “This show has become a signature series for Syfy and we are thrilled to have it return in 2014.”

Being Human has been an all-around performer for Syfy both on-air and via digital distribution as well as in the social media space. It remains one of Syfy’s youngest and most female-skewing scripted dramas.

Inclusive of Live +7 data, Season 3 of Being Human is averaging 1.8 million total viewers, including 1.1 million Adults 18-49 and 1.1 million Adults 25-54, and is a top ten cable program in its time period among both key demos.

Being Human is a Muse Entertainment production and is based on the acclaimed series created by Toby Whithouse and produced by Touchpaper. Executive producers are Michael Prupas (The Kennedys, Pillars of the Earth), Anna Fricke (Men in Trees, Everwood) who is both writer and showrunner, and Rob Pursey and Toby Whithouse. Irene Litinsky (Human Trafficking, The Phantom) is series producer."

I know I'll be back for more supernatural roommates in action in 2014!

After a few weeks of quieter times on the biggie episodes we now are heading firmly into finale land for Spring 2013. Leading the way is our shorter seasons shows which gives all three of Being Human (North American), The Almighty Johnsons and Lost Girl with their finales this week. We've been with all three shows from their beginnings, so they all get crowned picks for this weeks Paranormal Pick(s) of the Week:

Lost Girl - Season 3 Finale
Sunday April 7, 2013 on Showcase

This amazing Canadian succubus driven series following Bo who is caught between the light and the dark has been going on strong for years now and I've very curious to hear how they will wrap up the seasons. And there will be more, with Lost Season 4 confirmed for late 2014 it won't be too long until we will be seeing more fae-ness. Fae-tastic :)

The Almighty Johnsons 
~ Season 2 Finale
Monday April 8, 2013 on Space

I look forward to a new episode of The Almighty Johnsons each and every week, so the fact that the Season 2 run of the show on Space is coming to an end is bittersweet. But I hope the season ends with a bang, answers some questions and keeps us laughing and smiling, which the show always manages to do. Here is to an awesome Season 2 finale! The show is going ahead with a third season in New Zealand, and I hope we get to see it here too.

Being Human (North American) 
~ Season 3 Finale
Monday April 8, 2013 on Space

I get a little on again/off again on the Being Human (North American) train, but they do manage to keep us on our toes and season 3 has been full of suprizes so far. There has been a big lead up to the finale and I'm hoping it will be a good one. I'll be curious to see if this one will be going ahead for a fourth season, and I'll be sure to share the news once it is announced.

Also Awesome

• XIII Season 2 Begins Tuesday April 9, 2013 on Showcase. Season 2 of this conspiracy thriller is described as "XIII is pulled into an international conspiracy that threatens to unleash a new weapon to rival the atomic bomb. While unravelling this global plot, he must also confront the truth about his identity and a past he can neither remember nor escape", which sounds pretty excited to me! I could not find a trailer but I did find this Season 2 Set Video if you like behind-the-scenes goodness.

Poll Results: What Winter Shows Will You Be Watching?

The votes are in and it's clear that there is no resisting the power of the succubus when it comes to What Winter Shows Will You Be Watching... Lost Girl sweeps in at the top vote with 91%. Pretty impressive! Being Human (North American) also sits pretty at 66%. Both shows are enjoying their third seasons with solid followings, and I have to say they have been very exciting so far. Here are all of the voting results:

91% - Lost Girl
66% - Being Human (N.American)
33% - Bates Motel
25% - Face Off
16% - The Almighty Johnsons
16% - Merlin

Podcast Powered By Podbean

• We are now back in the regular swing of things here at Hexed and chat all our regular shows of Lost Girl, Being Human (North American), The Almighty Johnsons and Supernatural and Vampire Diaries which returned from hiatus this week. We also discuss the series opening of the new non-fiction paranormal series on Ghost Mine (which we are loving so far!) and also chat briefly about the recent spooky episode of Merlin.

•  A few spoiler notations for any new folk, we discuss the shows in depth for please watch them first and then listen. For any US watchers of Lost Girl please note that we are following the Canadian schedule of the show and therefore will be 1 week ahead. This week we also introduce back our reverse-spoiler notation for Being Human (North American) where we may refer to things that have happened in the British Series (season 1 - 4), so hopefully you have seen both before listening.

• All the shows are back again this week, so we'll be back for more next week when we'll also dive into the Haven Season 3 finale!

The Fine Print (spoiler notations)

• We talk about the shows in depth, so please watch first and then listen. We don't look ahead or watch trailers, teasers, look at casting info, so any predictions and commentary are from our own minds.
• For Being Human North American fans, we have a unique reverse-spoiler notation as we've seen the UK version of Being Human up to and including Season 4, so we may touch on characters and events from that series as well, so please watch it first if you want to be spoiler free!
