Space, in association with Entertainment One (eOne), recently announced that its upcoming original drama series “Bitten” has been licensed for U.S. broadcast to Syfy.
The first season of the 13-episode, one-hour series premieres in 2014.
Based on the New York Times best-selling “Women of the Otherworld” novels by Canadian author Kelley Armstrong, “Bitten” is an emotionally charged thriller starring Laura Vandervoort (“Smallville,” “Ted”) as Elena Michaels, the world’s only female werewolf, as well as Greg Bryk (“A History Of Violence,” “Rookie Blue”) as Pack Alpha Jeremy Danvers, Greyston Holt (“Alcatraz,” “Durham County”) as Clayton Danvers, and Paul Greene (“The Client List,” “Wicked Wicked Games”) as Philip McAdams.
“’Bitten’ is a fantastic blend of supernatural action, intense thrills, smouldering drama and a tortured love story that artfully adapts characters beloved for more than a decade by millions of readers around the world,” said Chris Regina, Senior Vice President of Programming at Syfy. “It’s an excellent complement to our roster of programming and we cannot wait to share Elena, her Pack and their stories with the Syfy audience.”
“Our partners at No Equal Entertainment, Hoodwink Entertainment, and eOne have brought to life a sexy and suspenseful new series and we are delighted Syfy has found it equally as compelling for their audience,” said Corrie Coe, Senior Vice-President of Independent Production at Bell Media. “With a strong female lead at its core, we know audiences on both sides of the border will be rabid followers of ‘Bitten.’”
