Toby Whithouse's excellent supernatural comedy-drama Being Human will make its Stateside debut on BBC America on 25 July @9pm ET/PT. They will be showing the six-part series, minus the original pilot.
Elsewhere, TV Squad are reporting that NBC are premiering the BBC's Merlin on 21 June with a double-bill. The series was pushed back from winter to summer, which some think indicates the network don't have faith in the series, but it's good enough to fill a gap while homegrown shows are off-air. In the UK, the second season of Merlin will premiere the same day on BBC1, meaning the series is moving from Saturday to Sunday nights. Strangely, Merlin has only been off-air six months! Quite why the BBC have moved it forward from autumn is anyone's guess. Were there problems getting the cast back together, so they had to bring production forward? Or are TV Squad mistaken?
Update: as Rob discovered in the comments below, TV Squad are mistaken. Merlin will return in the autumn for its second series.
