Being Human US - First Cast Pictures

There might be a while before the UK version of Being Human is back on our screens but the US version is certainly gathering speed.

First things's first - instead of George, Mitchell and Annie, this cast comprises of Josh (Sam Huntington), Aidan (Sam Witwer) and Sally (Meaghan Rath) who are a werewolf, a vampire and a ghost living in a house together in Boston. So far, mostly faithful to the series by Toby Whithouse.

So far, the press releases for the series aren't releasing anything too spoilery but it can be assumed that the first series of the US Being Human will basically follow the same course as the UK one, even though SyFy have commissioned 13 episodes for it's debut season.

From a casting standpoint - they all look pretty damn good. Meaghan Rath looks a perfect Sally/Annie character, Sam Huntington might not be as muscular as Russell Tovey but he's definitely a nice looking Josh/George type and Sam Witwer is just perfect for a vampire as complicated and volatile as Aidan/Mitchell can be.

In terms of the Bishop role (Herrick to the rest of us), great casting with Mark Pellegrino there. I've liked him in Lost and Supernatural and I can't wait to see what he brings to the table here. In terms of quality, if this is good, this could be a nice competitor for the likes of The Vampire Diaries and True Blood. Also as to whether or not, I'll be reviewing this series, just watch this space.

The series will premiere on SyFy in January 2011. No UK broadcaster has been confirmed yet.
