And not only that, but star Laura Vandervoort is making a special appearance at this week’s San Diego Comic-Con! Read on for all the details.
From the Press Release:
Leading independent studio Entertainment One (eOne) is thrilled to announce ten episodes of the supernatural thriller “BITTEN” will return to Syfy for a third season. Based on the best-selling series of novels by Kelley Armstrong and produced by No Equal Entertainment, eOne, and Hoodwink Entertainment, Season 3 sees the return of genre icon Laura Vandervoort (“Smallville,” Ted) as Elena Michaels; Greyston Holt (“Alcatraz,” “Durham County”) as Clayton Danvers; Greg Byrk (A History Of Violence, “Rookie Blue”) as Jeremy Danvers; Steve Lund (“Being Erica,” “Haven”) as Nick Sorrentino; and Genelle Williams (“Warehouse 13”) as Rachel Sutton.
Production will begin this summer in Toronto. As previously announced, “BITTEN” Season 3 was also picked up by Bell Media’s Space in Canada, where Seasons 1 and 2 were the most watched Space original program of all time.
