UPDATED: Multiple sources confirm to me exclusively that ex-Smallville‘s evildoer Sam Witwer (a.k.a. Doomsday) is the odds-on favorite has officially signed on to play vampire Aidan in Syfy’s in-the-works U.S. remake of the U.K. supernatural dramedy Being Human.
Additionally, Meaghan Rath (The Assistants) has inked a deal to play ghost Molly, and Sam Huntington (Cavemen) is up for the role of werewolf Josh. Beautiful People‘s Ricky Mabe and Smallville‘s Aaron Ashmore had also tested for the werewolf part, but I’m told they’re no longer in the running.
Being Human revolves around three twentysomething roommates - named Mitchell, George, and Annie in the British version - who attempt to blend in despite, you know, being a vampire, a werewolf, and a ghost.
It’s Three’s Company meets True Blood, and it’s a big bloody hit across the pond!
