View Full Version : Being Human Series 5 ***with spoiler*******
Being Human has been renewed for a fifth series by the BBC.
The supernatural drama will return on BBC Three for a fifth run in 2013.
BBC Three's Twitter account announced: "**EXCITING NEWS** #BeingHuman WILL return for a fifth series!! (sic)".
"There will be a 5th series of #beinghuman - how bloody amazing! Happy dance!", the show's official Twitter page confirmed.
The fourth series finale aired on BBC Three tonight (March 25), starring Damien Molony, Michael Socha and Lenora Crichlow.
Craig Roberts recently said that starring in Being Human is "an excuse to f**k around".
Being Human will return for six more episodes in 2013, it has been confirmed.
A fifth series of the paranormal drama was first announced last night (March 25), following the conclusion of the fourth run.
"Being Human lives on!" said series creator Toby Whithouse. "The response to series four has been terrific. We're thrilled that the audience have taken the new cast into their hearts with such enthusiasm and affection.
"We're delighted to have this opportunity to expand the world further and explore new characters and tell new stories. A heartfelt thank you to all the fans for their unstinting support, and to the BBC for letting us mess up the sandpit for a fifth year."
Details of the new episodes are still being kept under wraps, though both vampire Hal (Damien Molony) and werewolf Tom (Michael Socha) will return.
"In Being Human, Toby has created an extraordinary, funny, touching, supernatural world and I'm thrilled to be bringing it back for a fifth series," said BBC Three controller Zai Bennett.
It has also been confirmed that Lenora Crichlow will not reprise the role of ghost Annie, with a video confirming the character's exit being released on the show's official blog.
"Sometimes, you have to just respect that a story [and] a character has come to a natural end," said Whithouse. "Lenora completely understood that and completely agreed with it."
The actress agreed: "I don't know if there's much more for her to do, if I'm honest. [But] I really will miss playing Annie - she's such a fantastic character to play."

Being Human creator Toby Whithouse has dropped new hints about the paranormal drama's fifth series.
The writer told SFX that the BBC Three show's latest six-part run will climax with an ending that "will leave you guessing".
"There will be much discussion about the end," Whithouse hinted.
The finale will also contain "cameos from two guests" who featured in Being Human's fourth series, but Whithouse ruled out return appearances from any of the show's former cast, including Aidan Turner, Russell Tovey and Sinead Keenan.
"Mitchell [Turner] isn't coming back, because he's dead. And so are George and Nina!" he insisted.
The new series of Being Human stars Damien Molony, Michael Socha and Kate Bracken and will also feature Whitechapel's Phil Davis as the villainous Captain Hatch.

What do you get when you put a vampire, a werewolf and a ghost in a house-share in Barry? The return of Being Human!
Ghost Alex is adjusting to life after death with werewolf Tom but vampire Hal is in hell. Not because he’s chained up like an animal, but because he’s desperate to get his marigolds on the messy house.
But when Tom and Alex decide to set him free, Hal’s wracked by uncertainty… can he control his bloodlust? Things get complicated with the return of Mr Rook, the shady figure whose government department protects the world from supernaturals.
Having been fired from the café, Hal and Tom find new employment at the Barry Grand Hotel, home to poisonous pensioner Captain Hatch (Phil Davis). Unknown to our trio, his decrepit exterior hides an ancient evil that threatens not only their friendship but also the entire world.
Starring Damien Molony (Hal), Michael Socha (Tom), Kate Bracken (Kate), Phil Davis (Captain Hatch), Steven Robertson (Mr Rook), Colin Hoult (Crumb), Victoria Ross (Lady Catherine), Jeremy Swift (Emil), Clare Cage (Patsy).

The wait is almost over - Being Human finally returns this Sunday night and the cult drama's fifth series opens strong with 'The Trinity' - penned by series creator Toby Whithouse.
One month after Annie blew up baby Eve and most of the Old Ones, Hal (Damien Molony) is still struggling to control his bloodlust, new ghost Alex (Kate Bracken) is struggling to adapt to life without chocolate and a change of shoes...
And Tom (Michael Socha)? Well, he's the same bright-eyed and bushy-tailed werewolf we've come to know and love. But the trio's new-found domesticity at Honolulu Heights comes under threats when a new threat emerges - the greatest, oldest evil of them all...
Being Human returns to BBC Three this Sunday (February 3) at 10pm.
1. "This is a two sets of Marigolds problem!"
2. Annie's actions - and the loss of baby Eve - are touched upon here.
3. "Let's keep ****-ups to an absolute minimum."
4. Flashbacks to Hal's past in 1918 France lead to a sense of déjÃ* vu.
5. "Aren't you rather missing the point of a clandestine organisation?"
6. The Being Human hardcore might notice a brief cameo from a certain someone.
7. "I have no intention of bumming you."
8. Tom's chivalrous behaviour doesn't go down well with feisty Alex.
9. "No more supernatural nonsense!"
10. Just because you're a ghost doesn't mean you're safe from harm...

BBC Three’s supernatural trio will confront the ultimate evil in the final episodes of Being Human.
It was announced today that the current series of Being Human will be the last, as the supernatural drama on BBC Three reaches an apocalyptic end, with our heroes facing their toughest adversary yet... the Devil!
Being Human first aired as a stand-alone pilot in 2008 and soon became a popular addition to BBC Three’s schedule. It has gained a loyal Sunday night audience, with a ratings high of 1.6 million and a highest average audience of 1.2 million.
Being Human’s extraordinary mix of drama, comedy and horror has earned the programme awards: The Writer’s Guild Award for ‘Best TV Drama Series’ in 2009, 2010 and 2012, as well as ‘Best Drama Series’ at the 2011 TV Choice Awards.
The show’s success is a combination of innovative storytelling and dark humour which shines a light on the human condition through its supernatural characters.
At its heart was always the supernatural trinity of a vampire, a werewolf and a ghost: three beings attempting to live normal lives among humans, often with disastrous consequences as they fight against their unearthly powers.
Rob Pursey, the show’s executive producer, Touchpaper says: “Working on Being Human has been a truly great experience. From the first one-hour pilot, all the way through to this climactic series, we've been given real creative freedom and encouragement. It's a credit to BBC Three that such an unusual idea has been allowed to flourish and evolve in its own unique way.
"I'd like to take the chance to thank Toby Whithouse (creator and writer) for his incredible writing and storytelling; the other screenwriters who've made the series their own; the three producers who've nurtured the show; and the many directors who've helped us establish the show's unique tone. Being Human has also opened the door to new acting talent, including some incredibly exciting younger actors, which is a legacy we all feel proud of. We will miss Being Human, but feel inspired that there is a place for series like this on British television.”
Being Human started with Mitchell (Aiden Turner), a 117-year-old vampire with the gift of the gab who refused to prey on humans; George (Russell Tovey), a reluctant werewolf with an extraordinarily high IQ; and Annie (Lenora Crichlow), a murdered woman who returns as a ghost and eventually saves the world.
The show has also attracted a great number of all-star guests, including Mark Williams, Mark Gatiss, Steven Robertson, Donald Sumpter, Lacey Turner and Robson Green, to name a few.
Zai Bennett, Controller, BBC Three, says: “Being Human has been a fantastic and faithful friend to BBC Three. It’s featured some truly exceptional actors and storylines through the years and I’d like to thank Toby and the production team for their vision and passion. However, all good things come to an end and at BBC Three we’re committed to breaking new shows and new talent and who better to pass that baton on than Toby.”
Series five sees our supernatural trio facing their own personal demons, and matters become more complicated with the return of Mr Rook, the shady figure whose government department protects the human world from otherworldly beings.
But Vampire Hal (Damien Molony), Werewolf Tom (Michael Socha) and Ghost Alex (Kate Bracken) don’t realise they face a bigger threat than the Men in Grey, when they stumble across the decrepit and repulsive Captain Hatch (Phil Davis).
Unknown to our trio, Hatch’s feeble exterior hides an ancient evil... because Captain Hatch is the Devil himself and has been trapped in human form for centuries!
Now the father of all evil is just itching to inflict chaos on mankind, but can our heroes survive the oncoming Armageddon unscathed?

The supernatural trinity has been broken.

Alex is trapped in a hellish prison by Captain Hatch.
Unbeknownst to them all, Captain Hatch is no longer wheelchair bound and weak: he’s the regained his strength and is determined to cause as much chaos, death and destruction as possible.
