This new season of Haven is absolutely terrific; familiar yet fresh, just the way we like our favorite shows. We would absolutely hang out with – heck, we would date, if we were available and they were willing – any of the main characters of this show. Charming, intelligent, witty, perceptive, loyal, supportive, and each one of them an absolute biscuit. Yes, even the Teagues. There is just something about this town…
And tonight we meet two more residents: psychiatrist Dr. Claire Callahan (Bree Williamson), and Jordan McKee (Kate Kelton) whom you’ve seen on the #EscapeToHaven videos. We have a screen shot of Dr. Callahan with Nathan and one of Jordan with Dwight, along with the press release and a clip from tonight’s new episode:
BREE WILLIAMSON (GOSSIP GIRL) AND KATE KELTON (HAROLD AND KUMAR) JOIN CAST OF SYFY’S DRAMA SERIES HAVEN FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 28 AT 10PM
NEW YORK – September 25, 2012 – Bree Williamson (Gossip Girl, One Life to Live) and Kate Kelton (Harold and Kumar, American Psycho 2) join the cast of Syfy’s popular drama series Haven in the season’s second episode airing Friday, September 28 at 10PM (ET/PT).
Williamson’s character, psychiatrist Dr. Claire Callahan, not only helps the “Troubled” citizens of Haven with their afflictions, but also becomes a close friend and confidant to Audrey Parker (Emily Rose). She also uses her skills to help “profile” and catch potential perpetrators.
Kelton portrays spirited and fierce Jordan McKee, a waitress at “The Gun & Rose Diner,” and also an influential leader of a mysterious organization of “Troubled” people identified by a distinctive tattoo marking its members.
Haven, based on the novella The Colorado Kid from renowned author Stephen King, follows former FBI agent Audrey Parker, who becomes a cop in the small town of Haven, Maine, and soon discovers the town’s many secrets, which also hold the key to unlocking the mysteries of her lost past.
From leading independent studio Entertainment One (eOne), Haven is co-commissioned by Shaw Media in Canada and globally via Universal Networks International (UNI).
The creative team behind Haven includes executive producers John Morayniss (Rookie Blue, Hell on Wheels) from eOne Television and David MacLeod (Legends of the Fall, The Ray Bradbury Theater) of Big Motion Pictures, who are joined by Lloyd Segan, Shawn Piller, Scott Shepherd (Stephen King’s The Dead Zone, Greek) of Piller/Segan/Shepherd and Matt McGuinness (Journeyman, Dark Blue) as well as Sam Ernst & Jim Dunn (Stephen King’s The Dead Zone), who also developed the series.
Haven is produced by Entertainment One and Big Motion Pictures in association with Piller/Segan/Shepherd and airs on Syfy in the U.S., Showcase in Canada and internationally on Universal Networks International’s channels. Entertainment One controls the worldwide distribution rights to the one-hour series and concluded a deal with Germany’s Tele München Group (TMG) for the television rights in Continental Europe.
