TV News: Syfy’s ‘Warehouse 13’ Renewed For Fourth Season In 2012

Warehouse 13 is a unique show. It has a quirkiness just like the characters and all the artifacts they collect. Admittedly, I didn’t watch (much) the first two seasons; however, I caught up a bit on season two and watching season three every week. There is an air of cheesiness about the show, but I think that’s what makes me like it so much. It’s just a fun show.

In a press release today:

NEW YORK – August 12, 2011 – The Warehouse will be open for business again next year! Warehouse 13, Syfy’s most watched series ever, has been renewed for a fourth season and will return in 2012, it was announced today by Mark Stern, President, Original Content, Syfy, and Co-Head, Original Content, Universal Cable Productions.

The most successful series in Syfy history, Warehouse 13 follows a team of government agents who work at a massive, top-secret storage facility in windswept South Dakota which houses every strange artifact, mysterious relic, fantastical object and preternatural souvenir ever collected by the U.S. government. The Warehouse’s caretaker Artie Nielsen (Saul Rubinek) charges Pete Lattimer (Eddie McClintock), Myka Bering (Joanne Kelly), aspiring agent Claudia Donovan (Allison Scagliotti) and newcomer Steve Jinks (Aaron Ashmore) with chasing down reports of supernatural and paranormal activity in search of new objects to cache at the Warehouse, as well as helping him to control the Warehouse itself. CCH Pounder plays the Warehouse’s mysterious caretaker, Mrs. Frederic.
