Iconic genre star Laura Vandervoort (SMALLVILLE, Ted) returns to helm the sexy thriller as the embattled Elena Michaels, the world’s only female werewolf. Season 3 of the 10-episode, one-hour series delves into the theme of duty versus family, and the lengths one will go to keep both intact. 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.
“With the incomparable Laura Vandervoort at the helm, BITTEN was a ferocious drama from the get-go and we are so proud to have seen it make its mark in the television landscape from its home on Space,” said Tracey Pearce, Senior Vice-President, Specialty and Pay, Bell Media. “Along with the many devoted fans, we cannot wait to see what happens with Elena and the rest of The Pack as the BITTEN saga finally culminates in Season 3.”
“We are grateful to our broadcast partners at Space for three seasons of support,” said Executive Producer and Director, J.B. Sugar. “Season 3 takes us back to our werewolf roots and, with our strongest scripts and performances yet, I am confident fans in Canada and around the world are going to be hungry for more.”
“Alongside J.B., the entire cast and crew and our incredible broadcast partners, we are excited to deliver this powerful upcoming season to the show’s loyal fans who are chomping at the bit for more,” said John Morayniss, CEO, eOne Television.
In the Season 3 premiere episode, “Family, of Sorts” (Friday, Feb. 12 at 10 p.m. ET), in order to solidify his power, a war-hardened Jeremy has tasked Elena, Clay, and Nick with recruiting all North American Mutts into The Pack. But, when an unknown werewolf sniper takes a shot at the Alpha, The Pack must adjust course to track down those responsible. Meanwhile, Elena is accosted by a mysterious stranger who challenges her with a shocking claim.
Season 3 of BITTEN also sees the return of Pack members Clayton Danvers (Greyston Holt, ALCATRAZ, DURHAM COUNTY) and Nick Sorrentino (Steve Lund, BEING ERICA, HAVEN).

What do you think? Do you like the Bitten TV show? Do you think it should be ending with season three?
Please reconsider and renew Bitten. My family loves this show. Sorely disappointed in the network do letting go of a number of their shows. Come on people. Fight for what we want to watch.
You can’t cancel Bitten. I have read all of the books. There is more of this series left to tell!
Please do a s4. I just love bitten. Was stuck just looking at the first episode
I loved this show. I can’t believe you just cancelled it. I am not the fan of Syfy channel I used to be and this is part of the reason why. You start a series and then just cancel. CW is taking your audience and you are letting them.
I think canceling this show sucks! I watched this show every season. Have my TV set to record all my shows and this was one of them
I love Bitten, please don’t let it end!!
I LOVE BITTEN!!!!!! PLEASE BRING IT BACK!
Please don’t cancel Bitten. I love this show and the actors. It is the right amount of sexy and there is alot of action;. very entertaining. Why are the really good and favorite shows always canceled!? Please rethink this decision and continue to make your viewers happy!
Respectfully,
Barbara
Absolutely fabulous and fantastic show season 4 should go on, why oh why do they cancel shows that people really like. Can you buy seasons 1 to 3 on bluray for region 2 and is there a fan site where you can but t-shirt etc. This is the best show on telly I love this genre and there really is not wrought shown on TV. Fed up of cooking and gardening programmes don’t watch this rubbish. Give me werewolves, vampires, witches any day.
Bitten is the best show i have ever watched and Netflix should pick it up.
IF the show would have actually followed the plot of the book series it was supposed to be based on, it would have been awesome. Casting was awful, the storyline mutilated immediately by killing off the character of Antonio, and it went downhill from there. I’m surprised the show lasted beyond a few episodes, TBH. If I were Kelley Armstrong, I’d remove any mention of my name and books from this “adaptation” gone horribly wrong.
I would like for a network to pick up this show for a Season 4. It is awesome!
can’t netflix pick it up? it was such a good show.
Why can’t amazing shows like Pretty Little Liars and Bitten go on forever?! I love this show and I want it to continue because PLL is on its last season so I need another season that leaves me on the end of my seat! Oh and by the way I never get into syfy like I did on Bitten!
We need a SEASON 4!¡!!!””
