... "The Fades"
(9 p.m. EST, BBC America) series premiere
This coming-of-age fantasy drama premieres as part of BBCA's "Supernatural Saturday" line-up. Seventeen-year-old geek Paul is haunted by apocalyptic dreams that his therapist can't explain; neither can best friend and fellow social outcast, Mac, or unsympathetic and much cooler twin sister, Anna. But trying to fit in becomes the least of Paul and Mac's worries, as Paul's horrific dreams become a reality and they are embroiled in a battle between the living and the dead.

... The Fades
9:00 PM, BBCAM
Seventeen-year-old Paul (Iain De Caestecker) is plagued by nightmares and visions of horrible creatures. A new friend, Neil (Johnny Harris), explains that they're Fades, ghosts trapped in the human realm, and Paul is one of the few humans who can see them. Here's where it gets interesting: One angry Fade has broken the barrier between the dead and the living, and things are about to turn ugly. Daniel Kaluuya also stars in this new supernatural series.
BEDLAM - BBC AMERICA VIDEO FEATURETTE: Preview - Premieres Saturday, October 1, 2011 at 10/9C
Watch a special preview of Bedlam, BBC America's new addition to Supernatural Saturday, that dares to imagine Melrose Place... if it were haunted! Premiering immediately after the season finale of Doctor Who, *** Saturday October 1 at 10/9c *** only on BBC America.
Bedlam is a ghostly series set around Bedlam Heights -- a hip, newly renovated apartment building. Those who live there think they have the best address in the world, but little do they know their new home has a harrowing past.
The conversion of Bedlam Heights from a former insane asylum has awakened the ghosts of its dark and violent past. These spirits wish to reclaim what's theirs and seek revenge on those who have wronged them.
Kate (Charlotte Salt, The Tudors), a direct descendant of the people who ran the former asylum for generations, lives and works in Bedlam Heights. Her father, Warren (Hugo Speer, Skins), still owns the old family property, and Kate is helping him fill the remaining vacant apartments. She shares her apartment with roommates Ryan (Will Young, Skins) and Molly (Ashley Madekwe, Secret Diary of a Call Girl), but only with the unexpected arrival of Kate's adopted cousin, Jed (Theo James, Downton Abbey) -- a troubled man with a history of mental illness who sees ghosts and visions of the past -- are they able to uncover the terrifying secrets of Bedlam Heights. The hauntings that follow prove that sometimes when you scratch away the surface, things aren't always what they seem.
Don't miss BEDLAM, part of BBC America's Supernatural Saturday line-up, *** premiering immediately following the Doctor Who season finale on Saturday October 1 at 10/9c *** -- before moving to its regular timeslot, Saturdays at 9/8c starting October 8.
