First Look at Season 2 of Being Human US at Comic-Con

The stars of Being Human US recently took part in a panel at Comic Con, which is taking place in San Diego right now. They shared some information about their characters' development in the upcoming season, as well as shared a few laughs with the audience. The Hollywood Reporter has an article on their site about the panel.
Josh is "stronger and he's more in tune with who he is. His relationship with Norah has developed in very interesting ways," Huntington continued. 
Sally, played by Meaghan Rath, said her character (a ghost) has learned "more about who she is in her death than she's ever had in her life. We leave off three weeks after we stopped." 
Sam Witwer's Aidan, whose "father figure" Bishop is no longer around, "has been strugglign with going clean," Witwer said. "He had this father figure [for 200-plus years and] at the end of the season, Aidan frees himself from that. If youre trying to get off what is essentially a drug habit," which means staying away from the vampires, it proves to be difficult.
E! Online has posted the video reel shown during the panel to attendees of Comic Con. Most of the video is a recap of the events in Season 1, although there is a short sneak peek of what to expect in 2012 at the very end. You can watch that video below.

Dichen Lachman is joining the cast of Syfy's hit original drama series Being Human, produced by Muse Entertainment.

Toby Whithouse Teases & Updates Fans About BH4

It's been a while since the BBC Being Human blog has been updated, but today the silence was broken by the writer of Being Human himself, Toby Whithouse.

Toby revealed that he is hard at work putting together the scripts for Being Human 4 and attending meetings with other BH executives. He also stated that the first script readthrough will take place in less than two weeks!

Although he wouldn't reveal any specifics about the new series, he did drop a few tasty tidbits.
As ever it's been a joy making this series. Though it didn't feel like it a lot of the time. Each series gets harder to make as, hopefully, we set the bar higher and higher. But I think we've got another corker for you.

You know me well enough by know not to be surprised when I say there's nothing I can tell you about series 4, just my usual cryptic nuggets: There will be lots of new faces, an old face, a genuinely shocking death, a new villain, a sort-of new kind of supernatural (though that could change... we're very fickle...), a new writer and a journey to somewhere even we have never gone before.
Toby also briefly mentioned the BAFTA nods that Being Human received and offered his congratulations for Sherlock.
Oh and thank you for all the Bafta good luck wishes. We genuinely didn't think we stood much of a chance. I can't think of a year where the competition has been stronger. And to have a third series of anything nominated is an honour in itself. Plus, I think Sherlock was a work of genius. Hand on heart, I was delighted for them.
