BREAKING. The first season of Being Human, the American version, set to start on M-Net Series on Monday 31 October at 21:30.

You're reading it here first.

I can exclusively break the news that M-Net has secured the broadcasting righs to the American remake of the British science fiction series Being Human and only I can reveal that the first season of Being Human is set to start on M-Net Series (DStv 110) on Monday 31 October at 21:30.

Being Human tells the story of 3 people living together in a house in Boston who are actually a werewolf, a ghost and a vampire in the order pictured above. There's 13 hour long episodes in the first season, and Being Human has been renewed for a second season.

Being Human is structured in an interesting way with multiple secrets and revelations - in hindsight quite evident right from the beginning - slowly being explained and revealed as the season goes along, with very interesting backstories for all the characters. A lot of things are not as they seem initially.
