The drama series Being Human is back for Season 2 on Syfy, as the three supernatural friends struggle with their double lives, in ways that get darker than ever before. Vampire Aidan (Sam Witwer) is dealing with the fall-out from the death of his vampire maker by having to train the ruthless Vampire Queen’s disgraced daughter (played by Dichen Lachman), werewolf Josh (Sam Huntington) is dealing with the revelation that he scratched his girlfriend Nora (Kristen Hager), and ghost Sally (Meaghan Rath) grows more powerful and independent with the help of some new ghostly friends who send her down a dark and destructive path.
During a recent exclusive interview with Collider, co-stars Sam Witwer, Sam Huntington and Meaghan Rath talked about the individual paths their characters are headed down this season, how the series has really developed into its own thing this season, totally independent from its UK counterpart, how their individual storylines will affect their dynamic as a group, and whether or not they think their characters will get to a point where they’re happy with who they are...
... Question: Where are things headed with your characters, this season?
SAM WITWER: "It’s interesting because the first season was about them building the home and trying to reconnect with their humanity. And now, this season is all about the obstacles to maintaining that home and that sanctuary. The more that they try to create this safe unit, the more that the ugly stuff starts getting let in, and it gets pretty dark. Things get pretty complicated."
SAM HUNTINGTON: "We ended last season and there were cliffhangers with all of us. Josh had scratched Nora. Sally missed her door, so there are the ramifications of that. Aidan had the possibility of being given Boston. At the same time, the last scene with all of us, in the house, was closure for the season. Obviously, we would have to rebuild the house, but everything could be okay, from that point. But, what we end up rebuilding, in the second season, is a house of horrors. It is a nightmarish scene."
WITWER: "There are still light moments and there’s still comedy, but certainly, all three of us are challenged in ways that we were not challenged, in the first season."
MEAGHAN RATH: "The themes of this season are temptation and desire, and that’s what we’re all tapping into. It does take us down a path that’s dangerous for ourselves, and for the family we’ve created together..."
Being Human season two airs Monday at 9/8C on Syfy.
