Being Human is a British supernatural comedy-drama television series created and written by Toby Whithouse and first broadcast on BBC Three in 2009.[1] The show blends elements of flatshare comedy and horror drama. The pilot episode starred Andrea Riseborough as Annie Sawyer (a ghost), Russell Tovey as George Sands (a werewolf), and Guy Flanagan as John Mitchell (a vampire) – all of whom are sharing accommodation and attempting as well as they can to live a "normal" life and blend in with the ordinary humans around them, striving to fit in more.
Two of the main cast were replaced in the series by Aidan Turner (Mitchell) and Lenora Crichlow (Annie). Russell Tovey was the only original main cast member. In the third series, Sinead Keenan became part of the main cast as Nina Pickering (a werewolf). In the fourth series, the ensemble was joined by Michael Socha as Tom McNair (a werewolf) and Damien Molony as Hal Yorke (a vampire).[2] The fifth series added Kate Bracken as Alex Millar (a ghost).[3] The first two series were set in Totterdown, Bristol, and the third series onwards relocated 25 miles (40 km), across the River Severn, to Barry, Wales.[4][5]
On 13 March 2011, series creator Toby Whithouse announced that Turner had left the show and that new characters would be introduced.[6] On 11 November 2011, Tovey announced that he was leaving Being Human after the first episode of Series 4 to work full-time on his other television series Him & Her.[7] Furthermore, Keenan announced on 9 January 2012 that she had not filmed any scenes for Series 4, and would exit the show off-screen.[8]
The series is one of the most popular shows on BBC's iPlayer.[9] The second series premiered on BBC Three on 10 January 2010.[10] The third series launched on 23 January 2011. The day following the final broadcast for Series 3, the BBC announced a fourth series would premiere on the BBC in 2012.[11] Series 4 began airing on BBC Three on 5 February 2012.[12] The BBC Media Centre announced a fifth series had been commissioned, which started broadcasting on 3 February 2013.[13] The BBC announced on 7 February 2013 that the fifth series would be the last.[14] The final episode of Being Human was broadcast on 10 March 2013.
