Space also revealed today a chilling sneak peek at Season 3 of BITTEN.
Season 3 picks up several months after the harrowing battle in the Season 2 finale. Bolstering their ranks in the wake of the carnage The Pack is on the hunt for a dangerous group of traitorous Mutts lead by former Spanish Alpha, Eduardo Escobado (Mishka Thébaud, SAVING HOPE). Meanwhile, Elena struggles with Pack Alpha Jeremy Danvers’ (Greg Bryk, A History Of Violence, THE BOOK OF NEGROES) new draconian leadership style, and makes a shocking and surprising discovery about herself.

What do you think? Do you like the Bitten TV show? Do you think it should be ending with season three?
No they should have more season.. to open and love series.. 🙁
Love and no it should have more seasons..
Absolutely bring Bitten back! I loved seeing how the pack and other packs loyalties were. The way they had there pack rules, and other culture was also interesting on the show. I especially loved Clay’s & Elena’s kind and sweet relationship. They would do anything for one another. So yes, you all had a fantastic show! I don’t really know if anyone from the show is really going to read these post, but I truly hope they make a difference. They need to have another season 4 of Bitten PLEASE! Thank You darling, A Bitten loyal fan
I love that show.Decided to google when season four would air and sadly found out season three was the end.That sucks…
I don’t watch anymore of the Syfy series. Since Bitten is being cancelled and no season four. It’s the end fir me and the Syfy channel. It has a great habit of canceling series by season three maybe four and doesn’t give a series s chance. I can no longer commit my time getting into a series and it cancels. Bitten is the last I’m getting involved with. Goodbye Syfy you have cancelled too many series I’ve followed.
Gah please keep this going out of all tv series that were made from a book series they did this so well. please keep this going Kelky Armstrong bitten series is a wonderful series of books please keep the tv show going, even if it is moved to Netflix or Hulu please.
Bitten needs to have season 4, and I hope more after that. There is so much that y’all are leaving out. I have read the books and they were amazing. Loved this story and the show. Please u need to make another few seasons. If nothing else tie up the story lines with the books. Come on I want to see Clay and Elena have the family that was promised in the books plus u get to see how everything changed. Please make it happen.
Please don’t let it end!! I love this show it’s my favorite. I’ve watched it since day one and was sad to find out that it’s not continuing! I literally just found out.
With so much garbage on TV these days, it was wonderful to have a well-written, well-acted, compelling television series to watch. This one is true entertainment! Very upset at the news it won’t be back. I guess I’ll have to get the books and spend my evenings reading, instead.
PLEASE, do not allow this series to End here!
I love this show.
Love love the show. Was very disappointed to hear they were not making a fourth season. I am sure many fans of this show are disappointed.. We want more Bitten. Great cast and keeps you interested. Please reconsider cancelling this series..
I love this show and there is much more that could be written. My family is really upset that this show is stopping. What can we do to stop this!
We really need a Season 4, really need to know how their lives go on now with the world knowing of them. Can’t possibly end it now .
