It’s a pretty slow week for new releases, but there is one notable new release hitting DVD and Blu-ray on New Years Day—Being Human: The Complete Second Season.

Being Human: The Complete Second Season (Blu-ray and DVD)

FOR THREE ROOMMATES, BEING HUMAN IS HARDER THAN IT LOOKS…

VAMPIRES, WEREWOLVES AND THE SUPERNATURAL COLLIDE IN THE THIRD SEASON OF THIS GROWING SYFY SMASH SERIES THAT MIXES “TRUE BLOOD” WITH THE “VAMPIRE DIARIES”

From the creative team behind “Pillars of the Earth,” “The Mentalist” and “Heroes”, BEING HUMAN is Syfy’s re-imagining of the acclaimed UK series created by Toby Whithouse now in its fifth season overseas. Starring Sam Witwer (Smallville, Battlestar Galactica), Meaghan Rath (The Assistants), Sam Huntington (Cavemen, Superman Returns) and Mark Pellegrino (Lost, Supernatural), BEING HUMAN follows three paranormal, 20-something roommates living in a Boston brownstone – vampire “Aidan” (Witwer), werewolf “Josh” (Huntington) and ghost “Sally” (Rath) – as they struggle to resist the temptations of their true natures. (Pellegrino plays Aidan’s charismatic but menacing vampire mentor “Bishop.”) Watching the characters hide their dark secrets from the world, while helping each other navigate the complexities of living double lives and trying to be human, viewership for the second season increased sharply, to more than2.1 million viewers per episode. Season 3 of BEING HUMAN premieres January 14th on Syfy.
