The popular UK BBC3 series Being Human will premiere for the first time in the US this Saturday.

Being Human follows the story of a Vampire (Aidan Turner), a Werewolf (Russell Tovey) and a Ghost (Lenora Crichlow) who all share a flat in Bristol and who battle their dark natures – and those of their enemies.  It is part drama, part comedy and part supernatural thriller.

US viewers can tune into the first episode of Being Human on BBC America at 9pm (ET/PT) on July 25, 2009.  The season contains only 6 episodes and will end August 29th.

Cast and crew members from Being Human will also be appearing at the San Diego Comic-Con. Toby Whithouse (series creator) and actors Russell Tovey, Lenora Crichlow and Aidan Turner will each talk about the show from the BBC America booth on Sunday July 26, 2:15-3:45pm PT.  All four will attend an exclusive signing at the BBC America booth on Saturday July 25 from 3-4pm PT.

In other related news, Being Human star Sinead Keenan (Nina) will appear in the final two Doctor Who specials starring David Tennant.

“Russell T Davies would email me after every single episode, going, ‘I’m loving it!’. He absolutely fell in love with Sinead who plays Nina,” Toby Whithouse said, “so he’s given her a part in David Tennant’s last two parter.”

The 8 episode second season of Being Human is expected to air sometime in January 2010 in the UK.

A Vampire, a Werewolf and a Ghost

BBC America has announced the air date for the premiere of the supernatural drama Being Human. Make sure you set some time aside to check it out at 9pm (ET/PT) on July 25, 2009.

Being Human follows the story of a Vampire (Aidan Turner), a Werewolf (Russell Tovey) and a Ghost (Lenora Crichlow) who all share a flat in Bristol and who battle their dark natures – and those of their enemies.  It is part drama, part comedy and part supernatural thriller.

Although the first season of Being Human ran for only six episodes in the UK, the series received instant critical acclaim and by episode five it had been approved for an 8 episode second season.  By the time its sixth episode had aired its viewer numbers were almost as high as Lost.

It has been called one of the best new series to hit television screens in a long time and so US viewers would be wise to check it out in July.

For UK fans the second season of Being Human is scheduled to commence filming in August with a planned UK air date during January 2010.

Russell Tovey and Lenora Crichlow in 'Being Human'

Russell Tovey (aka George the Werewolf) has confirmed Season 2 of Being Human will commence filming in August with a scheduled transmission in the UK around January 2010.  He also confirmed that the first season is due to air [later this year] on BBC America, in Italy, Australia, Brazil and France.

The news came whilst Tovey and co-star Lenora Crichlow (Annie) were in attendance at Collectormania Midlands, where they also let out a few other tidbits related to the upcoming second season of the hit UK series.

Crichlow confirmed Annie is about to switch up her wardrobe after wearing the same clothes for an entire season.  Now that she’s at peace with herself and her death we can expect her to trade-in her ugg boots for a skirt.

Whilst explaining the werewolf prosthetics that he had to endure to bring the werewolf to life, Tovey added that fans can expect his werewolf to change too.

“They’re going to improve on the final werewolf for the second series. He was a bit of a mincing werewolf,” he said.
