US 'Being Human' greenlit by Syfy
Syfy has handed a 13-episode order to a US version of Being Human.

The show, originally developed by the BBC for a UK audience, centres around a vampire, a werewolf and a ghost living in modern-day Bristol.

"It turned out great as we can now do an American version," said Syfy president Dave Howe. "We've always been keen on vampires and werewolves, and we loved the originality of Being Human, the fact that the fantastical creatures in it are very young, accessible and charming."

The first series was a ratings success in the UK and the show has since been recommissioned for a second eight-part run.
