Last year, the UK version of Being Human was cancelled after five seasons. Now, Syfy has cancelled the US version after four seasons and 52 installments.
Here’s a press note from the cable channel:
With the second half of “Being Human’s” 4th season set to kick off, our human-at-heart characters are about to embark on a journey full of twists, turns and surprises that will culminate in a spectacular series finale on Syfy, Monday, April 7th.
Showrunner Anna Fricke and the talented producers, writers, cast and crew have done an amazing job bringing this show to life over the past four seasons and we sincerely thank them and the series’ production company Muse Entertainment for their hard work. They’ve saved the best for last with the final six episodes that revisit the story’s beginning, leading to a not-to-be-missed send-off for Aidan, Sally, Josh and Nora.
What do you think? Do you like this Syfy series? Do you think that Being Human should have been renewed for a fifth season?
Not much left to watch on Monday night now. Lost girl and bitten weren’t all that great. I could only stomach the episodes because they came on before Being Human.
I really wish SyFy would reconsider this.. I’ve watched Being Human since the first season a few years ago and fell in love with it. I have loved watching the characters grow into their own with well written scripts and an altogether amazing, talented cast. I don’t watch the SyFy channel much but only do to watch this show. SyFy save Being Human!
Really disappointed that Being Human has been cancelled. Love this show, have watched from the beginning.
I am heartbroken as this is my favorite program. I don’t get to watch much television as I am limit to the things I get to do in my life due to my work schedules. I reserve Monday evening to come home and watch Being Human. It was a joy in my life and I looked forward to it and waited the whole week for it. On my lonely moments between going from one of my jobs to the next I would spend a moment daydreaming and speculating on what the next show would be about. Now I have nothing… Read more »
I’ve been watching this show since the beginning & it sucks that you r canceling it. I really wish the network would reconsider.
Best show on the network & the only show I watch on SyFy!!!!
Me too.
I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU ARE CANCELLING BEING HUMAN! IT IS THE BEST SHOW EVER AND THE CHARACTERS ARE SO AMAZING. WHY TAKE OFF A SERIES THAT EVERYONE LOVES???? THIS IS THE ONE SHOW I LOOK FORWARD TO EVERY MONDAY NIGHT! I AM 62 YEARS OLD AND IT IS SO SAD TO KNOW THEY WILL NOT BE BACK ON. PLEASE, PLEASE RECONSIDER YOUR DECISION.
Well I really DID love this show up until the last episode. “Evil in the house personified”? Really?
Sorry, that’s just too much of a stretch even for a vampire/werewolf show. I would say to kill her off quick and get on with the core story but it’s the last season so…I guess you guys just wanted to make everyone not so sad that it’s over by writing a completely laughable script. Good going..I guess?
Very disappointed. I have seen shows come back. I am hoping there is enough support out there to bring this one back. This show is up there with “The Walking Dead” on AMC as a metaphor and depiction of real human life struggles . . . trials and tribulations and then the joys harmony when people come together. It seems that many people can’t see through the fun dark facade in order to see harmony in the end.
There is a concept called “objective disbelief” . This concept would allow you to enjoy any show or movie no matter how unrealistic or “laughable” it is. Its like putting aside one’s disbelief while watching “The Matrix” just for the sake of enjoying the movie as opposed to “laughing” at it or analyzing its flaws and unrealalism. If you enjoy the vampire/werewolf “disbelief ” of the show “Being Human” without laughing at the script, how far of a stretch is it to not laugh at a script that personify’s an “evil house”? Just saying . . . if I’m willing… Read more »
Being Human is literally the only show I watch on the Syfy network.
This show has opened my eyes to different possibilities and I am very upset that it will end.
You really screwed up Syfy, I’m sure rating are gonna go down for the network in general.
Why are they canceling one of the best shows on this network?
I’m gonna miss this show.
I can’t believe that Being Human has been canceled. Being Human,LOst Girl an Bitten are the best shows on sci-fi. There are to many realty shows.
I am seriously depressed now!
why are they cancelling being human? man that was a good show and they should go on with season five. so why are they canceling? what is the reason for real? this is total ******** for real. im so sick and tired of the cable or whoever that is canceling all these shows for real. they are all good. please someone tell me please? will they ever bring it back? I need answers for real. this is very disappointing and man it was getting so good. please give me answers please
As others have stated. I get EXTREMELY upset when a network just up and cancels a VERY popular weekly TV series. I’m sitting here fuming mad as i type this because for the folks like myself who are into “goth” style TV shows, Movies, etc…we never seem to have enough of this type of “entertainment” to watch. Especially, when it’s acted as well as this cast has been. I just finished watching a broadcast of it this evening as i type this and when i heard the words “series finale” NOT “season finale” i was shocked. I must have missed… Read more »
This is mine and my husband’s favorite show, including my inlaws. We watch this show every week and have seen LITERALLY every episode. We are all very upset and heartbroken this show is being cancelled. We really would love it if we could get one more season, one that’s actually expected. Stop cancelling the best shows!!! Especially abruptly!!! PLEASE bring back Being Human with all our favorite cast members!
I get so annoyed when they cancel my favorite shows. This cast is talented and have made the “Being Human” great.
SyFy doesn’t have anything worth watching now.
I agree this is the only program on the station that I watched. I will not be watching any other of their series as I am now very upset that they could be so uncaring towards Being Human’s fan base.
