The cast of 'Bedlam'
Fans may still be reeling over Being Human‘s stunning third season finale. (I think I heard a collective NOOOOOO! the night the episode aired.) But late yesterday, BBC America confirmed that it will co-produce Season 4, which is set to air on the channel in Spring 2012.
Meanwhile, the channel also firmed up dates for two additional sci-fi co-productions. The frontier drama Outcasts, starring Ugly Betty‘s Eric Mabius, is scheduled for a Saturday, June 18 premiere, while the haunted apartment thriller Bedlam, starring Will Young, will bow Saturday, October 8. All three will air in the Supernatural Saturday block, home of Doctor Who.
Speaking of Will Young, the most hardcore Anglophiles will recognize him for his British pop star career. Before there was a Kelly Clarkson or a Carrie Underwood, he was the world’s first Idol way back in 2002. And he’s made some quite enjoyable music over the years. Check out his 2008 hit, “Changes,” which is creamy soul reminiscent of vintage (and therefore good) Simply Red.

I’m looking forward to these new shows! And I was probably the loudest protester at the season ender of “Being Human”, my son came to check on me, hearing my cries of NOOOOOO at the end! lol
I think i was louder saying no!!! than i get watching MAN U play
These series sound great, but it would be nice to see some non sci-fi dramas and some new comedies on BBCA again.
I think they should just get it over with and rename BBCA “SyFy2.”
“BBC America announced Thursday that it has acquired the science fiction series Battlestar Galactica. The agreement with NBCU Domestic TV Distribution is for the first four seasons and a two-part miniseries. The show, which orginaly aired on the Syfy network from 2003-2009, is an Emmy and Peabody award winner. Known as a cult classic, Battlestar Galactica told the story of the last humans’ search for a new home through space. BBC America plans to air Battlestar Galactica as part of Supernatural Saturday lineup, premiering on June 18 at 7 p.m..”
Yes season 4 was a shocker for everyone. Now that the Old 1′s are there that should know some trick on being Mitch back…….
Seasons seem so short! 6 episodes only? I can be ok with this if BBC America continues with more episodes or a new season every few months. However, a year is entirely too long to wait!
I hope this isn’t the case for Shows such as: Bedlam, Luther, White Chapel.
Whoops! I didn’t quite finish my previous post… Can anyone tell me/ does anyone know: When new or continuing episodes of bedlam, Luther, white chapel & the like will run?
