Everything about Lost Girl, eh?

Republic of Doyle and Lost Girl among the classy class of 2010

From Rob Salem of the Toronto Star:

  • The Class (and trash) of 2010
    “Though you cannot beat the hilarious father/son sniping between Alan Hawco and TV dad Sean McGinley on the CBC hit, Republic of Doyle. … The also locally-produced new Lost Girl, generally dismissed as a dark-side Buffy, has turned out to be so much more, adding a cheeky gal-pal spin that the relentlessly dour Nikita might do well to consider.” Read more.

Our guest this week is Chris Leavins of Todd and the Book of Pure Evil (as well as Cute With Chris, Traders, Slings & Arrows, etc.) who talks about playing the guidance counsellor from hell, his favourite Canadian television the limitations of making a web series about cute cats, and so much more.

But first Anthony and Diane rant, of course, about the Geminis foreign content, Canadians’ wacky list of 25 favourite shows, the excrement that is Lake Shore, and the difficulty of cutting the cable cord in Canada. Oh and Lost Girl was renewed, but we’re happy about that.

Lost Girl renewed for season 2

From a media release:

SHOWCASE KEEPS THE FAE: LOST GIRL GETS SECOND SEASON RENEWAL

  • Hit series is the number one scripted drama on all specialties in Canada

Showcase is pleased to announce the second season pick up of the channel’s number one series, Lost Girl. The supernatural Canadian drama is set to begin production this spring and will hit the airwaves in Fall 2011.

Since its smashing debut to almost 700,000 (2+) Canadians in September 2010, Lost Girl continues to be a stellar performer for Showcase, as it continues to attract over 700,000 viewers weekly. The series currently ranks as the number one series on the channel for Adults 25-54, bringing in close to 400,000 viewers (A 25-54) each week. It also currently ranks as the number one scripted series for Adults 25-54 across all specialty channels.

Season one of Lost Girl introduced viewers to Bo (Anna Silk: Being Erica; Billable Hours), a girl who learns she is a succubus, a creature from the world of Fae, who live among humans. Bo refuses to choose an allegiance to either the Dark or Light Fae clans. Her independence proves problematic for both sides, threatening to topple an age old system. She embarks on a personal mission to unlock the secrets of her origin.

Season two will challenge Bo’s resolve to stay free and force her to question her own morals and beliefs. While Bo grows stronger and learns more about who she really is, relationships will be tested, passions will ignite, but answers will not come easily. Throughout it all, Bo will remain true to herself, loyal to those she trusts and continue to forge a path of her own in a dangerous world. Ksenia Solo (Life Unexpected; Renegadepress.com ) will return as Bo’s human confidante Kenzi and Kris Holden-Reid (Ben Hur, The Bridge; The Tudors) as homicide detective Dyson.

Lost Girl was developed by Prodigy Pictures, in association with Shaw Media and Showcase.
