Being Human season 4 in production
From a media release:
MUSE ENTERTAINMENT BEGINS PRODUCTION ON BEING HUMAN SEASON 4
STARRING SAM WITWER, MEAGHAN RATH, SAM HUNTINGTON AND KRISTEN HAGER
Muse Entertainment has begun production in Montreal of the fourth season of the hit supernatural series Being Human. The 13-episode series about three paranormal roommates, stars Sam Witwer (Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Smallville), Meaghan Rath (Flashpoint, Cyberbully), Sam Huntington (Fanboys, Superman Returns) and Kristen Hager (A Little Bit Zombie, Servitude). The brand new season of Being Human will air on Syfy in the US and SPACE in Canada.
In Being Human, vampire Aidan (Sam Witwer), ghost Sally (Meaghan Rath), and werewolves Josh (Sam Huntington) and Nora (Kristen Hager), share the creature comforts of their brownstone while struggling to keep their supernatural secrets from the outside world. Together they strive to resist the temptations of their true paranormal natures and live lives that are as near to “normal†as possible.
Season Four of Being Human opens with the roommates coping with Josh, who is permanently a wolf, although the full moon has a very different effect on him now, which drives Nora to extremes in order to get her husband back. Visitors from Aidan’s haunted past, including an elusive character bearing an uncanny likeness to his long lost wife Suzanna (Katharine Isabelle), as well as his maker Bishop (Mark Pellegrino), collide with the present and Aidan is forced to make impossible decisions affecting those closest to him. Sally finds herself trapped alone with the witch, Donna (Amy Aquino), but her newfound magical powers may be more than either of them bargained for.
Executive Producers on the series are Michael Prupas (The Kennedys, Pillars of the Earth), Writer/Showrunner Anna Fricke (Men in Trees, Everwood), Rob Pursey and Toby Whithouse. Stefan Pleszczynski (Motive, Flashpoint) is Supervising Producer and Irene Litinsky (Human Trafficking, The Phantom) is series Producer.
