Being Human to be launched in US
- Published
Filming on the second series of hit ´óÏó´«Ã½ Three show Being Human starts this month.
The cast have returned to the Bristol set after being flown to LA to launch the show over there, a sign that big things could be in store for the drama that fans petitioned to get made.
Flatmates Annie the Ghost, George the Werewolf and Mitchell the Vampire are played by Lenora Crichlow, Russell Tovey and Aidan Turner.
They've been sworn to secrecy about what happens next but Newsbeat has been twisting the arm of Aidan Turner.
Aidan says they are strict about what he's allowed to reveal: "You'll get me sacked if I tell you, but no, I really don't know where it's going to go."
'Really exciting'
However, after a bit of persuasion Aidan admits he has already seen the first two scripts: "From what I've read it's really, really good and really exciting.
"It's longer this year, we have eight episodes instead of six, so they've given themselves a bit more room to take it places later on in the series."
And he has a further hint for fans: "It's just really exciting from the get go. It picks up almost where it left off, there's no huge time lapse.
"It happens as the audience were seeing it from the last episode. It pretty much continues. You get the vibe from that if you've seen the series."
With the success of Twilight, vampires are very popular at the moment and Aidan admits he has been getting a lot of attention.
'Strange response'
He said: "I don't know why they're so popular. It seems to come around every 10 years that they suddenly get popular again.
"Maybe it'll be werewolves next year and Russell will get a few new mates."
But Aidan says he's not got used to the attention yet: "It's been weird. It's strange. When I come back to London I get it way more than I do in Dublin (where he lives)."
"It's been very strange, the response, but it's all completely positive. Everyone has loved the show and everyone has been really lovely about it.
"It's their own little baby somehow and they've discovered the show and they show it to friends and it grows."
He added: "People get really excited when they meet you and they want to talk about the show.
"It's not about you which is brilliant. It's straight in about the show and the characters. It's cool."
