Adam the Vampire will Return in Series 4

Previously, Toby Whithouse mentioned that he would be open to having Adam, the teenage vampire, return to Being Human if a story came up for him.

Now Craig Roberts, who plays Adam, has (somewhat) confirmed that he will be back on the show. He said the quote below in an interview with SFX.
“I believe I am going back for an episode. They’ve not mentioned too much about Becoming Human. If that does get mentioned again I’m all for doing it because I thought it was a great thing. I’m really happy to do Being Human again because it’s a fantastic show, and if Becoming Human wants to go again, I’m game.”
What else do we already know about Series 4? Check out this post to find out!

This same type of promotional material has also appeared on buses.

Brian  S- What's been your favorite experience on the show so far?

Meaghan Rath- Definitely being able to work with the Sam’s. They are amazing and two of my closest friends. I feel safe with them. They inspire me. I’ve learned so much from them.
Meaghan promised that she will share the Season 2 premiere date with fans as soon as she knows it and conlcluded the interview with "Hi people! Can’t wait to make out with all of you."

What Can We Expect in Series 4?

The end of the series for Being Human 3 promised one thing, big changes for the future. We won't get to see new episodes until early 2012, but series writer and creator Toby Whithouse has made some comments about the series which give us a vague idea about what to expect.

Mitchell Will Not Return

Fans hopeful of Mitchell's return in some way (ala Herrick) shouldn't hold their breath. Toby Whithouse has said that Mitchell will not be coming back, since Aidan Turner will not be available for filming. Aidan encouraged Toby to kill Mitchell off in the story line, since he knew that he wouldn't be a part of Series 4.

Tom the Werewolf & Wyndam Will Return

In an EW interview, Toby said that Tom the young werewolf will appear in the new series. He also stated that Wyndam (the old world vampire that interrupts Mitchell's staking) "is coming back" for some of the new season. (Irrelevant Fun Fact: Wyndam is played by the same actor who played Stan Shunpike in Harry Potter & The Prisoner of Azkaban.)

Adam the Teenage Vampire May Turn Up Again

In that same interview, Toby didn't rule our the idea of having Adam return and said he might come back if a story comes up for him.

Some Old & New Faces

The Radio Times posted this quote from Toby.
"We've got another intense and epic story lined up for you, with some new faces and old, and even more horror and mayhem and mugs of tea. I can't wait to get started."

One storyline that has yet to be fully completed (or so it seems) involves Kemp. At the end of Series 2, Annie dragged him through the door to save Mitchell, Nina, & George. Who knows that happened to him? Interestingly, the web spin off Becoming Human ended with a similar cliffhanger. Does this mean we might see more of Kemp in the new series?

Also, have we seen the last of Daisy? It's never exactly said that happened to her.

Whatever happens, Being Human 4 is shaping up to be just as exciting and unexpected as its predecessors.

Watch a Young Russell Tovey in this Heinz Advert

Long before he was George Sands, Russell Tovey was just a kid in a Heinz Ketchup commercial. Check out this clip from a late 1990s TV spot featuring Russell, with the some same ears that are his iconic touch today.




On a related note, Russell tweeted yesterday that they are now in the final week of filming of Series 2 for Him & Her.

Sam Huntington & Meaghan Rath Head Out on European Tour

SyFy's Being Human stars Sammy Huntington (Josh) and Meaghan Rath (Sally) have been tweeting while on the road (or in some cases a plane). They will be promoting Being Human in Europe over the course of the upcoming tour. Their latest tweets indicate that they are now in Madrid.
