Take a look at SyFy’s American version of the BBC’s acclaimed series Being Human! From the looks of this promo, the American version maintains the mix of comedy and drama that gave the original series the remarkable depth to explore each character in a multitude of dimensions. If this version can carry it off in the same way that the British version did, this version just might capture a whole new audience for both shows.

Set in Boston, Sam Witwer (Smallville, BSG) plays Aidan, the vampire, Meaghan Rath (TeenNick’s The Assistants) is Molly, the ghost, and Sam Huntington (Superman Returns) takes on the role of Josh, the werewolf.
