Being Human becomes American

Thursday, 29 October 2009
Syfy have ordered a 13-episode US remake of BBC series Being Human -- the comedy-drama about a vampire, a werewolf and a ghost living together as housemates. Interestingly, Syfy were once approached about co-producing the UK original, which is currently filming its second series. Syfy intend to have their own version ready for broadcast in autumn 2010, and are now seeking writers to translate the show.

What do you think? Will the humour translate? Will the American version be very different, with the only similarity being the premise? Does Syfy's version stand a chance of being better, or at least more technically accomplished? Any suggestions for the American cast?
