September 2013 Paranomal TV New and Returning Air Dates

Pictured - The Cast of Sleepy Hollow

September is just around the corner and with it marks the return of Fall TV. Although the heavy hitter month for Hexed shows is the spooky month of October, we certainly see a lot of shows we care about hitting the small screen in the sweet month of September. It's a free for all than runs the gambit of shows we cover from non-fiction awesomenss of Ghost Mine to many fiction shows, new series like Sleepy Hollow (pictured above) and and returning new faves like The Neighbors.

I would even hazard to say September includes the most highly anticipated show of Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. as well as shows that just popped on the radar like Fangasm. With so many options, it's time to get our TV rooms (or favoured devices) ready and enjoy what the month will bring. Let's take a look what is to come in the September Preview:

Ghost Mine ~ Season 2 Premiere
Wednesday September 4, 2013 at 10pm ET on Space

~and~

Ghost Mine: Back on the Mountain
Wednesday September 4, 2013 at 9pm ET on Space

Genre: Non-Fiction Paranormal/Reality

I'm so excited to share that Season 2 of Ghost Mine will be starting in September.  Suzie and I became fast fans of the show when it debuted in January 2013, completely won over by both the paranormal investigators and the mining crew who all do extremely dangerous and challenging work. We watched and loved every episode of Season 1 and are so happy it's back for Season 2 and with a whopping 12 episodes to enjoy.  If that wasn't enough, this season kicks off with a special episode called Ghost Mine: Back on the Mountain and according the Patrick Doyle's Facebook Page, Adam "Edge" Copeland (who plays Dwight on Haven) will be hosting. This season is going to be so much fun.

Series Description: "In the remote woods of Oregon lies one of the richest gold mines in the United States that was abandoned 80 years ago when a series of tragedies gave it an infamous reputation for being haunted. Now, a new owner has decided to take on the notorious legend and reopen the mine, assembling a colorful team of miners – both seasoned and new – to battle the elements along with a pair of experienced paranormal investigators, in hopes of finding a fortune. This strong-willed and superstitious group of miners will face the day-to-day challenges of mining, aided by the paranormal investigators who unravel the mysteries surrounding the mine, including historic Masonic connections and a spirit who has been known to haunt the area for generations."

Ghost Mine Season 2 will consist of 12 episodes.

Sleepy Hollow ~ Series Premiere
Monday Sept 16, 2013 at 9pm ET/PT on Global

Genre: Drama/Mystery/Historical

It's too soon to say if this one if a show we will be chatting about, but we are hoping there will be a spooky side that comes out and it not be too procedural and/or Americana (not holding our breath on that one!). But it's definitely got great atmosphere and an interesting story, which is always a great start.

Here is a series description: "This thrilling new action-adventure drama is a modern-day retelling of Washington Irving’s classic tale. Ichabod Crane (Tom Mison, Parade's End) is resurrected and pulled two-and-a-half centuries through time to find that the world is on the brink of destruction, and that he is humanity’s last hope, forcing him to team up with a contemporary police officer (Nicole Beharie, 42) to unravel a mystery which dates all the way back to the founding fathers."

Sleepy Hollow stars Nicole Beharie, John Cho, Orlando Jones, Tom Mison and Katia Winter.

The Neighbors ~ Season 2 Premiere
Friday September 20, 2013 at 8:30 on CTV Two

Genre: Science Fiction/Comedy

We were late to the game on the delightful science fiction comedy of The Neighbors, but once we got on the train we didn't look back.  It's such a quirky show, following a human family that unknowingly moves into a gated community of aliens.  I have to tell you, the first episode I saw was the Halloween one, and boy-oh-boy I didn't even know who were the aliens!  But over time it became clear who was who, and that some aliens just want to have fun.  This was a surprizing stand out to last years new shows, and I'm very much looking forward to seeing it's sophomore season.

Series Description: "THE NEIGHBORS follows one family’s attempt at a normal life in the suburbs, only to discover that the neighbours are aliens masquerading as suburbanites. Debbie (Jami Gertz) and Marty Weaver (Lenny Venito) recently bought a home in Hidden Hills, a coveted gated community in New Jersey, to provide a better life for their three kids. It's clear from day one that the residents of Hidden Hills are a little different. For starters, their new neighbors all have pro-athlete names like Reggie Jackson (Tim Jo), Jackie Joyner-Kersee (Toks Olagundoye), Dick Butkis (Ian Patrick) and Larry Bird (Simon Templeman). To their horror, the Weavers soon learn that the entire community is comprised of aliens from Zabvron masquerading as suburbanites where the men bear children and everyone cries green goo from their ears. Two worlds collide with hilarious consequences as everyone discovers they can "totally relate" and learn a lot from each other."

The Neighbors stars Jami Gertz, Lenny Venito, Simon Templeman, Toks Olagundoye, Clara Mamet, Tim Jo, Ian Patrick, Max Charles and Isabella Cramp.  Season 2 of The Neighbors will consist of 22 episodes.

Revolution ~ Season 2
Wednesday September 25, 2013 at 8pm ET/PT on CityTV

Genre: Drama/Science Fiction/Conspiracy

We only talked about the first few episodes of Revolution, and I'm not sure either of us will be watching it this year (it got too Civil War Americana themed and not enough science fiction-y for me) but I know that people do watch it as it's one of the higher rated shows we cover.  So, if you watch it - enjoy!

Series Description: "Our entire way of life depends on electricity. So what would happen if it just stopped working? Well, one day, like a switch turned off, the world is suddenly thrust back into the dark ages. Planes fall from the sky, hospitals shut down, and communication is impossible. And without any modern technology, who can tell us why?

Now, 15 years later, life is back to what it once was long before the industrial revolution: families living in quiet cul-de-sacs, and when the sun goes down, the lanterns and candles are lit. Life is slower and sweeter. Or is it?

On the fringes of small farming communities, danger lurks. And a young woman’s life is dramatically changed when a local militia arrives and kills her father, who mysteriously – and unbeknownst to her – had something to do with the blackout. This brutal encounter sets her and two unlikely companions off on a daring coming-of-age journey to find answers about the past in the hopes of reclaiming the future.What would you do without it all? In this epic adventure thriller from Supernatural’s Eric Kripke and J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot Productions, a family struggles to reunite in a post-apocalyptic American landscape: a world of empty cities, local militias and heroic freedom fighters, where every single piece of technology — computers, planes, cars, phones, even lights — has mysteriously blacked out … forever."

Season 2 of Revolution will consist of 22 episodes.

Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. ~ Series Premiere
Tuesday September 24, 2013 at 8pm on CTV

Genre: Superhero/Paranormal

 Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is definitely one of, if not the, most anticipated new series this fall.  Getting an actual team of superheroes show on TV is so exciting that it's almost hard to even stand waiting.  I'm really cheering for it to be awesome, and if the trailer is any indication I think we are in for one wild ride.  And given that it deals with the 'unknown', that *technically* makes it a paranormal show!

Series Description: "Clark Gregg reprises the role of Agent Phil Coulson from Marvel's feature films in MARVEL’S AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D., as he assembles a small, highly select group of Agents from the worldwide law-enforcement organization known as S.H.I.E.L.D. Together they investigate the new, the strange, and the unknown around the globe, protecting the ordinary from the extraordinary. Coulson's team consists of Agent Grant Ward (Brett Dalton), highly trained in combat and espionage; Agent Melinda May (Ming-Na Wen), expert pilot and martial artist; Agent Leo Fitz (Iain De Caestecker), brilliant engineer; and Agent Jemma Simmons (Elizabeth Henstridge), genius bio-chemist. Joining them on their journey into mystery is new recruit and computer hacker Skye (Chloe Bennet)."

Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. stars Clark Gregg, Brett Dalton, Ming-Na Wen, Iain De Caestecker, Elizabeth Henstridge and Chloe Bennet.

Fangasm ~ Series Premiere
Tuesday September 24, 2013 at 10pm ET on Space

Genre: Docu-Series/Non-Fiction

I'm not quite sure what to make of Fangasm, and I'm not sure if it's actually some kind of competition show or not.  But, Stan Lee (awesome) and fandom is enough to get me to watch it.  And at only 6 eps, it's going to fly by quickly.

Series Description:

"From the producer of Jersey Shore comes Fangasm – a six-part docuseries that celebrates the incredibly unique, often misunderstood, and infinitely fascinating fan girl and fan boy culture. The show follows seven pop culture-obsessed fans (whose passions range from comic books and collectibles to science fiction and fantasy) living together in an LA apartment complex and working together at Stan Lee's Comikaze Expo. The seven must contend with each others oversized personalities and conflicting fandom as they vie for an opportunity to work within Lee's organization.

Because when different passions come together, you get a real big bang."

Fangasm is a 6-part docu-series.

Once Upon a Time ~ Season 3 Premiere
Sunday September 29, 2013 at 7pm on CTV

Genre: Fantasy

Once Upon a Time is a show I continue to be surprized at that I've not jumped into watch, although I know Suzie watches it.  I always love looking at the stills and I feel like I've seen it through the years with snippits and commercials along the way.  It's great to see a fantasy series doing so well, I'm thinking the early timeslot and family appeal has a lot to do with it. I don't know if I'll jump in this year, or one day wait and catch up on the whole thing.  But for the fans of the show get to start back up right at the end of the month.

Series Description: "ONCE UPON A TIME is a fairytale set in modern times. Emma Swan (Jennifer Morrison), a 28-year-old bail bonds collector has been on her own since she was abandoned as a baby. But when the son she gave up years ago finds her, everything starts to change. Henry (Jared Gilmore) is now 10 years old and in desperate need of Emma’s help. Henry believes that Emma is the missing daughter of Snow White (Ginnifer Goodwin) and Prince Charming (Josh Dallas). According to his book of fairytales, they sent her away to protect her from the Evil Queen’s curse, which trapped the fairytale world forever. Emma isn’t a believer, but when she brings Henry back to Storybrooke, she suspects his strange New England town may be more than it seems. Storybrooke is a magical place where fairytale characters are alive, frozen in time and can’t remember their true identities. To win the good vs. evil epic battle, Emma will have to accept her destiny and fight like hell."

Once Upon a Time stars Ginnifer Goodwin, Jennifer Morrison, Robert Carlyle, Lana Parilla, Jared Gilmore, James Dornan and Josh Dallas.  Season 3 will consist of 22 episodes.

Ghost Mine Season 2 Begins on Space Wednesday September 4, 2013

Image Source

I'm so excited to share that Season 2 of Ghost Mine will be airing on Space starting next week! This non-fiction paranormal series that follows a paranormal team who investigates a haunted location with a group of gold miners working in the mines. The show debuted in the winter and instantly won over both Suzie and I. We loved Patrick and Kristen (aka Red), and totally love the miners who do such a challenging and dangerous job (and didn't even know there was going to be paranormal investigators!).

Season 2 of Ghost Mine begins Wednesday September 4, 2013 at 10pm ET on Space. This season there will be 12 episodes (twice the amount of Season 1). But, be sure to check in earlier on September 4th as at 9pm ET there will be a special episode called Ghost Mine: Back on the Mountain. According the Patrick Doyle's Facebook Page, Adam "Edge" Copeland (who plays Dwight on Haven) will be hosting the pre-show special.

We would like to extend a HUGE thank you to Space for airing Season 2 of Ghost Mine!

Paranormal Pick of the Week: Game of Thrones Season 2 Begins on Showcase

This weeks Paranormal Pick of the Week is for those of us who are just warming up to the whole Winter is Coming thing. Yep, I'm talking Game of Thrones. Showcase is catching us up with the series in the cable premiere of Season 2.  And for the PVR-folks, remember this runs longer than an hour so check your listings and set your timers appropriately.

Game of Thrones (Season 2)
Begins Fri Aug 30, 2013 at 10pm ET/7pm PT on Showcase

Here's a look into Season 2 of Game of Thrones:

"With tensions and treaties, animosity and alliances, Season 2 of Game of Thrones is a thrilling journey through a riveting, unforgettable fictional landscape based on George R.R. Martin's bestselling novel A Clash of Kings. In Kings Landing, the coveted Iron Throne is occupied by cruel young Joffrey (Jack Gleeson), counseled by his conniving mother Cersei (Lena Headey) and uncle Tyrion (Peter Dinklage), who has been appointed Hand of the King. But the Lannister hold on the Throne is under assault on many fronts. There's Robb Stark (Richard Madden), son of the slain Lord of Winterfell Ned Stark, who seeks autonomy in the north and has taken Cersei's brother Jaime (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) prisoner in battle; Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke), looking to shore up her depleted power in the east through three newborn dragons; Stannis Baratheon (Stephen Dillane), brother of the late king Robert, who rejects Joffrey's legitimacy and aligns with a powerful priestess to raise a naval attack; Stannis' brother Renly (Gethin Anthony), who has maintained his own claim since fleeing Kings Landing; and Theon Greyjoy (Alfie Allen), who was raised by the Starks, but whose blood ties in his native Iron Islands runs deep. In the meantime, a new leader is rising among the wildings outside the Wall, adding new perils for Jon Snow (Kit Harington) and the order of the Night's Watch."

Showcase Fall 2013 Premiere Dates for Beauty and the Beast, Lost Girl and Haven

Image Source
Showcase has announced their Fall 2013 Schedule and many of the shows we talk about here at Hexed are on the docket. Beauty and the Beast, Haven and Lost Girl all have debuts in the fall of 2013, and one is earlier, and another is way later, than expected. Let's take a look.

Beauty and the Beast ~ Season 2Begins Sunday October 6, 2013 at 8pm ET/5pm PT on Showcase

One of the big happy surprizes last year was the show Beauty and the Beast, I know I looked forward to watching the beautiful tension grow between Kat and Vincent each and every week. This year we'll actually be getting the show 1 day earlier than the US (don't tell anyone!) as it airs on Sunday as opposed to Monday. I'll take it! Especially considering what happens to one of our other shows (see below).

Before we get ahead of ourselves, let's take a look about what Season 2 will bring for Beauty and the Beast: "The 2013 People's Choice Award-winner for Favourite New Drama, Beauty and the Beast, stars Kristin Kreuk and Jay Ryan as Det. Catherine Chandler and Dr. Vincent Keller. The first season of the epic romance saw the pair fall in love while hiding from the dangerous organization Muirfield and attempting to solve Cat's mother's murder. Beauty and the Beast returns with more of the shocking revelations and heart-stopping action that kept viewers on the edge of their seats throughout the premiere season."

As each and every episode of Beauty and the Beast is available to watch on the Showcase website, I've created a Spoiler-Free Episode List for those of us who love rewatching the series, or in case you want to jump in and have a taste of what it's like. There is even time to catch up before Season 2 begins for newly intrigued fans.

Lost Girl ~ Season 4Begins Sunday November 10, 2013 at 10pm ET/PT on Showcase

We've loved Lost Girl from the very first episode. The sassy humour, amazing female (and male) characters, kick-butt action and sticking to your guns which makes it a sure-fire fae hit in out books. Season 3 was a heavy one, and it looks like that will continue. Want to know more? Here is a look into Season 4:

"Season four of Lost Girl sees fate cast a wide shadow over the Fae world. With Bo's (Anna Silk) return, the lines between Dark and Light fae are blurred causing Bo to venture on a journey of discovery. Bo and company will ultimately realize that regardless of the challenges and enemies they face, they're stronger when they face them together."

If you need to catch up on Lost Girl, or want to dive in for the first time, I have created a Spoiler-Free Episode List so you can watch each and every episode over at the Showcase website. Gotta keep it fae-tastic!

Haven ~ Season 4Begins Sunday December 1, 2013 at 9pm ET/PT on Showcase

Haven is another series that we have loved and supported since the very first episode, so I can't mask that I'm very disappointed that we are getting the fourth season of the show 2 1/2 months later that it's US airing on SyFy (where it begins September 13, 2013). It was sad enough last year when we were one week behind, but now we will could literally be watching the premiere episode when the finale airs south of the border. If it was an American show I could understand, but being a Canadian/US co-pro that's filmed here, it really makes it hurt. In a time where social media is so involved with TV, it makes avoiding spoilers near impossible and sadly I'll probably have to unfollow all the Haven groups on Facebook and Twitter until we see all of Season 4. At least we can re-watch all three seasons of Haven over at Showcase.ca to keep us busy until new episodes arrive in December.

Putting that aside, let's look ahead into what Season 4 of Haven will bring: "Season 4 of Haven picks up six months after the devastating season three finale when the town was pummeled by a violent meteor storm, that saw Audrey (Emily Rose) and Duke (Eric Balfour) vanish into thin air, and an injured Nathan (Lucas Bryant) left marooned in Haven."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In addition to the release of these premiere dates, it has also been confirmed that Showcase will have the Canadian Broadcast Premiere for the new science fiction series Helix.  Here is more about Helix: "Helix is an intense thriller about a team of scientists from the Centers for Disease Control who travel to a high-tech research facility in the Arctic to investigate a possible disease outbreak, only to find themselves pulled into a terrifying life-and-death struggle that holds the key to mankind's salvation or total annihilation."

In addition to these shows, the 2013-2014 Season we will also see Game of Thrones Season 2 (starts Friday, August 30 at 10 PM ET/7 PM PT) as well as Continuum Season 3 and Defiance Season 2 all on Showcase.

Paranormal Pick of the Week: Face Off Season 5 Premiere

Face Off ~ Season 5 Premiere
Tuesday August 13, 2013 at 9pm on Space

I can't wait for Tuesday! Face Off is easily one of my favourite reality series, I love seeing the inspiration take form in the creative make up that the artist put together. This week we see the series 5 premiere with a special 1 1/2 hour episode.

Here is more about the Season 5 Premiere of Face Off: "FACE OFF returns for a fifth season of mind-blowing special effects ingenuity, offering a new group of rising SFX make-up artists the opportunity to compete and showcase their imagination and creativity. As a member of the multi-generational family dynasty whose name is synonymous with the make-up effects field, actress McKenzie Westmore (Vile) brings expertise to her role as host of the series."


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Also Awesome

• Heroes of Cosplay Series Premiere Tuesday August 13, 2013 at 10:30pm on Space. Here is a little bit about Heroes of Cosplay: "This tantalizing docu-series lifts the veil on the imaginative world of costume play competition. The series follows cosplayers of all levels, from legend Yaya Han, to rising stars and newbies, as they make a splash at comic book conventions around the country."  
• Whodunnit Season Finale Sunday August 18, 2013 at 8pm on CTV; although not paranormal by any means, I've really enjoyed this murder-mystery reality series all season long. It will be very cool to find out in the finale Who Actually Dunnit.
• Orphan Black Season 1 on CTV starting Friday August 16, 2013 at 9pm.  This home grown science fiction series lands a new spot for even more viewers to enjoy.

Orphan Black on CTV Starting Friday August 16, 2013

Orphan Black is coming to CTV. Whether you watched it all on it's debut run on Space or have yet to catch it, soon you will be able to see Orphan Black on CTV starting Friday, August 16 at 9pm ET.

This news is especially exciting as Tatiana Maslany just recently won the Individual Achievement in Drama category at the Television Critics Association Award for Her Role for her role(s) in Orphan Black. Her performances in the series are formidable, and it's very exciting to see her accomplishment recognized in this way. And you can see them all again with this showing of Season 1 on CTV.

If you need an Orphan Black refresher, here is a show description: "Sarah, an orphan outsider on the run from a lifetime of bad decisions, witnesses the suicide of a stranger who looks just like her. Sarah assumes her identity hoping that cleaning out the dead woman’s bank account will solve all of her problems. Instead, the street-smart chameleon is thrust headlong into a kaleidoscopic mystery. After taking on the new identity, Sarah quickly finds herself caught in the middle of a deadly conspiracy and must race to find answers. "

Paranormal Pick of the Week: Face Off Season 4 Marathon

Face Off Season 4 Marathon
Saturday 1:30pm - 7pm on Space
Sunday 11am - 5pm on Space

In anticipation of the Season 5 Premiere of Face Off next week, Space is airing Season 4 in it's entirely over the weekend.  What's more, is there is a preview into to season with a whole pre-season special on Space Sunday August 11, 2013 at 5pm. It shares the theme of the season so if you want to know, or already know, you can check out a detailed trailer here, and wait and just watch the marathon and then wait for the season to start and be surprized.

Also Awesome:

• Sharknado Sat Aug 11, 2013 at 10pm on Discovery; capping of Shark Week on the Discovery Channel it's a whirl of a storm of sharks chomping up pretty much everything in sight.  The film has been quite a sensation so if you haven't had a chance to see it yet take a bite and jump in.
