Paranormal Pick of the Week: Haven and Lost Girl Season 4 Premieres

Showcase is spoiling us silly this week with the premieres of two of our long-term favourite shows coming back for their fourth, fabulous seasons. That's right, both Haven and Lost Girl start back up this week and we can't choose between two of the shows that we've been chatting about since 2010 so they are sharing the spotlight of the Paranormal Pick of the Week:

(L-R) Lucas Bryant, Emily Rose and Eric Balfour in season four of Haven

Haven ~ Season 4 Premiere

Also Awesome:

• Face Off Season 5 Finale - Tuesday November 5, 2013 at 9pm on Space. I can't believe it is already coming to an end! This seasons twist of Vets vs Newcomers has proved very interesting indeed and the make up artists have created some absolutely stunning works of art. I'm going to be sad when it's over (although Season 6 has been announced). I have no clue who will win, but it's been such a talented group of people this year, I would be happy no matter who it will be.

November 2013 Paranomal TV New and Returning Air Dates

November is hear and as we get closer to the end of the year, we still have tons of awesome shows and specials premiering. This month we have the new science fiction series Almost Human starring Karl Urban and Micheal Ealy as reluctant cop partners in a human and robot filled world. We also have a few specials in store including the big 50th Anniversary of Doctor Who special as well as Face Off's Judges' Favourites Special which looks like so much fun. In the non-fiction realm we have the Haunted Highway return for it's second season. Last but certainly not least, two of our favourite shows are returning for their fourth seasons: Haven and Lost Girl.

For the Spoiler-Sensitive: several of the returning series have *season* descriptions, so read with caution if you don't want to know where the shows are going this year.

We've also had a lot of revisions in dates this month too, as Haven is now starting earlier than initially anticipated but Almost Human will now be airing closer to the end of the month. As always, we'll share if we find out any more date changes but always be sure to check your local listings.

Detective John Kennex (Karl Urban, The Bourne Supremacy) survived a catastrophic attack on the city's police department that cost him his friends, one of his limbs and his reputation. When he returns a year later, he finds the transition difficult. Not only does one of the surviving detectives, Richard Paul (Michael Irby, Flight Plan) blame him for the lethal ambush, but department policy now requires that every cop be paired with a highly-evolved human-like android partner. Instead, Kennex works with lab technician Rudy Lom (MacKenzie Crook, Game of Thrones) to reinstate an outdated Dorian android (Michael Ealy, The Good Wife) whose somewhat dysfunctional platform is based on a "Synthetic Soul" program, allowing it to have emotional responses. Together, the two set out to keep the city safe and uncover the criminal conspiracy that threatens to destroy their world."

Almost Human stars Karl Urban, Michael Ealy, Mackenzie Crook, Michael Irby, Minka Kelly and Lili Taylor.

We did decide to talk in depth on Ghost Mine which we are loving, and we also talk a lot about Face Off and Supernatural plus a special shout out to The Neighbors holiday episode. With Shannon still settling from the move and tons of spooky season stuff going on it's hard to pack it all in, but we do check in on series premieres of Alien Mysteries, The Tomorrow People, Atlantis and Once Upon a Time in Wonderland and although we haven't both necessarily seen all the eps, we do share if we've liked what we've seen or are planning on watching it. Of course we check in on our other regs of Vampire Diaries, Sleepy Hollow, Fangasm and more. We hope this gets you up to speed and then next episode will be a bit more normal. Although we always run long, don't we?

Of course we will be back next week to share thoughts on the Season 3 premiere of Grimm, and the series premieres of Dracula and Ravenswood as well as checking in on our regs.

Space Orders New Science Fiction Series: Killjoys

It's always exciting to hear about new science fiction series, and we have one that is actually set in space, following bounty hunters. Killjoys is slated for 2014 and is from Lost Girl writer/creator Michelle Lovretta. And it's That works for me! We will see 10 one-hour episodes of Killjoys in 2014 on Space. And it's Canadian. Woohoo!

Want to know more? Here are all the details from press release:

"Bell Media’s Space announced today from MIPCOM, the world’s annual entertainment content market in Cannes, France, that it has ordered its latest original scripted series KILLJOYS from leading Toronto and L.A.-based television production company Temple Street Productions (ORPHAN BLACK). The brainchild of writer and creator Michelle Lovretta (LOST GIRL), KILLJOYS is an action-packed adventure series following a trio of interplanetary bounty hunters as they navigate through political turmoil, questionable morality and complicated relationships. In development since 2012 as part of Bell Media’s Writer Only Drama Development program, Space has ordered 10, one-hour episodes for delivery in 2014. KILLJOYS is executive produced by Michelle Lovretta and Temple Street’s David Fortier and Ivan Schneeberg. Michelle Lovretta is represented by Jeff Alpern of The Alpern Group, who brokered the Bell Media and Temple Street deals.

“Our audience has come to expect the most imaginative and addictive programs from Space, and KILLJOYS is no exception,” said Catherine MacLeod, Senior Vice-President, Specialty Channels, Bell Media. “We look forward to building upon our partnership with Temple Street Productions with a whole new adventure.”

“We are delighted to be working with Michelle. She is exceptionally talented and this is a terrifically exciting project,” commented Ivan Schneeberg and David Fortier, Executive Producers and Co-Presidents of Temple Street Productions. “With having such a great experience working together on OPRHAN BLACK, we are thrilled to be teaming up again with Bell Media and Space on this new action-adventure series.”

In a distant Galaxy, the people of the planet Qresh have colonized their three moons, creating four stratified worlds, each defined along socio-economic lines and rife with social unrest. In this planetary unit, known as the Quad, a highly regulated group of bounty hunters, Killjoys, are licensed to pursue a vast range of warrants throughout the galaxy. Killjoys must follow strict rules, and there are harsh consequences for veering from their mantra: “The Warrant is All”. Killjoys are not allowed to take a personal or political side in their mission, which proves to be impossible and near fatal for Dutch. Dutch is a gorgeous, complicated and deadly Killjoy at the top of her game. Her partner, John the Bastard, is a peacemaker who hates conflict.

When John’s incredibly sexy and confident brother D’avin shows up to join the partners, the dysfunctional trio’s lives become intertwined. Confined to close quarters, Dutch, John, and D’avin quickly find themselves caught in a tricky love triangle.

KILLJOYS is produced by Temple Street Productions in association with Bell Media. Production Executives for Bell Media are Trish Williams and Rebecca DiPasquale. Corrie Coe is Senior Vice-President, Independent Production, Bell Media. Catherine McLeod is Senior Vice-President, Specialty Channels, Bell Media. Phil King is President, CTV Programming and Sports.

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: Lost Girl, Almighty Johnsons and Being Human (North American) Finales

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.
