On Saturday July 24 at 10/9c BBC America will air the premiere episode of Season Two of the hit British fantasy series Being Human. Thanks to our friends at the Beeb, we can bring you the latest Inside Look Video below.

The clip features cast members Aiden Turner, Russell Tovey, and Lenora Chrichlow discussing their characters struggle to fit in to normal society, despite their secret double-lives as a werewolf, a vampire, and a ghost. We have also included below a sneak peek of the first seven minutes of the new series.

Created by Toby Whithouse (Doctor Who, Torchwood), Being Human follows the lives of hospital porters George (Tovey) and Mitchell (Turner). Toiling anonymously in Bristol, England, they lead lives of quiet desperation under the burden of a terrible secret - Mitchell's a vampire and George is a werewolf.

Deciding to start life afresh and leave behind the dark side, they move into a house, only to find that Annie (Lenora Crichlow), the ghost of a woman killed in mysterious circumstances, haunts it. As the three deal with the challenges of their new lives together, they're united in their desire to blend in with their human neighbors. However, with unwelcome intruders into their world, a threatened revolution from the vampire underworld, constant threats of exposure, and the day-to-day issues faced by young people, the only thing they may be able to rely on is each other.

Inside Look

To coincide with the show's return to US screens, the DVD and Blu-ray of Season 1 was released last week. The Being Human: Season 1 DVD and Blu-ray collections each feature all six episodes along with over an hour of bonus material including deleted scenes, behind-the-scenes featurettes, video diaries, character profiles and an interview with Whithouse. We have a review coming up.

As we reported here, both the second and third season of Being Human have been picked up by BBC America. The concept is also being adapted for an American audience by the NBC-owned channel Syfy.
