Good news Being Human fans. Syfy has found itself a hit new series in the remake of the British show of the same name. So much so that they’ve decided to renew the show for a second season. The major components are there—the storyline is familiar, the show is filled with drama, and it’s entertaining. Although it isn’t the original, I like it. Apparently, so do millions of you.

NEW YORK – March 17, 2011 – Syfy is ordering a second season of its new
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. Since the show’s January 17 launch, premiere
episodes of Being Human have averaged 1.8 million viewers making it Syfy’s
most successful winter season scripted series launch in 6 years. Also,
with women comprising 53% of the total audience for premiere episodes, it is the channel’s most female-skewing scripted series ever.

Through its first nine weeks on Syfy, and including repeat broadcasts,
Being Human has been seen by 19.1 million total unique viewers.

“’Being Human’ has proven to be a winner for Syfy on all fronts,” said
Stern. “Using the original format as inspiration, showrunners/writers
Jeremy Carver and Anna Fricke – along with a superlative team of writers,
cast, and production – have created an amazing, compelling series in its
own right. We can’t wait to watch Aidan, Josh and Sally continue their
struggle to be human in the second season!”

Being Human stars Sam Witwer, Meaghan Rath, Sam Huntington and Mark
Pellegrino and is a Muse Entertainment production in association with
Zodiak USA. It is based on the acclaimed series, Being Human, created by
Toby Whithouse and produced by Touchpaper Television, part of Zodiak Media Group.

In Being Human, leading everyday lives is a lot harder than it looks for
three supernatural roommates – vampire Aidan (Witwer), ghost Sally (Rath)
and werewolf Josh (Huntington) – who share their secrets and a Boston
brownstone. Together they learn that there are fates worse than death and
more to life – and the afterlife – than most “normal” humans could ever
imagine.

Executive Producers are Michael Prupas (The Kennedys, Pillars of the
Earth), Jeremy Carver (Supernatural) and Anna Fricke (Men in Trees,
Everwood) who are both writers/showrunners, and Rob Pursey and Toby
Whithouse. Irene Litinsky is series Producer and Adam Kane (The Mentalist,
Heroes) is Co-Executive Producer.
