HAVEN RENEWED FOR SEASON TWO
Syfy’s Supernatural Drama Series From Entertainment One Returns in 2011Series is Co-commissioned by Canwest in Canada And Globally Via Universal Networks International (UNI)
NEW YORK – October 7, 2010 – Haven, Syfy’s original series from leading independent producer Entertainment One (eOne), has been renewed for season two. The 13-episode season will commence production on location in Nova Scotia in Spring 2011 with an eye towards a Summer 2011 premiere.
Haven, starring Emily Rose, is based on The Colorado Kid from renowned author Stephen King. The series follows FBI agent Audrey Parker (Rose), who takes up residence in the small town of Haven, Maine and soon discovers the town’s many secrets. A longtime refuge for people with an eclectic range of supernatural abilities, Haven also holds the key to unlocking the mysteries of Audrey’s lost past. Among the townspeople are local cop Nathan Wuornos (Lucas Bryant) and the mysterious and charming Duke Crocker (Eric Balfour).
The creative team behind Haven includes showrunner Scott Shepherd (Tru Calling, The Dead Zone) as well as his partners, executive producers Lloyd Segan and Shawn Piller (The Dead Zone, Wildfire, Greek) who are joined by eOne’s John Morayniss (Hung, Rookie Blue) Noreen Halpern (Hung, Rookie Blue) and Laszlo Barna (The Bridge, Call Me Fitz). The pilot was written by Sam Ernst & Jim Dunn (The Dead Zone) who also serve as executive producers on the series.
Haven is produced by Entertainment One in association with Piller, Segan and Shepherd and was the first property to be produced for Syfy globally: in the US with Syfy and globally through Universal Networks International (UNI), and Canwest in Canada. Haven premiered on Syfy in the US on July 9, 2010 and will conclude its first season this Friday, October 8 @ 10pm. It debuted on Canwest specialty channel Showcase in Canada on July 12, 2010 and has its global first run pay-TV window on UNI (excluding Canada and Scandinavia). Universal Networks International will continue its global launch of Haven during October, rolling out Season One on Syfy Universal’s 19 global channels throughout the month.
Entertainment One controls the worldwide distribution rights to the one-hour series and concluded a deal with Germany’s Tele M?nchen Group (TMG) for the free television rights in Continental Europe.
Since debuting this summer on Syfy, Haven has scored a 1.9 Household rating and 2.6 million total viewers, including over 1.2 million Adults 25-54 and 989,000 Adults 18-49.

Love, love, love this show! Reminiscent of X-files, but with more heart. Give it a chance!
when will the show come back on?
Ummmmmm…….I am soooooooo ready for season 2!!!!!! I have been searching for season 1 on dvd. Are they crazy? Hello! Merchandising!
I think that the story line and the characters are will written and acted……….it’s a little sci-fi, but that’s why people like it and it has a good story line, and the characters should be expanded, espically Duke, and the coroner’s daughter, and the mystery behind the FBI agent. It had a good season finale.
This is a really great program! Interesting characters,
awsome storylines, EVERYTHING that is
needed to produce a show well worth watching!
I am SO HAPPY there is going to be a season 2!
I can’t wait to see what twists and turns are in store!
I too loved the show; and my husband, who is the furthest thing from a sci-fi fan, is on board, as well. We are both excited that it will be returning for a second season, though I had to do some digging to discover this fact. While it was running, I couldn’t believe there wasn’t any buzz about it! It’s a rare show that causes me to stay up late to watch.
I’m so happy about this! I started watching the show a couple months ago, and it had an interesting plot and a great cast. I even added a Haven forum to my website here: http://www.mysterydramaboards.smfnew.com/
amazon is taking pre- orders for haven right now , it shouldn’t be to long before it is released.
Seriously? I am heading over to my amazon site right now. Thank you.
I finally went on the computer to see what has happened to “Haven”. I never know when the next shows are going to come on or not. The seasons aren’t like they used to be. You always knew when the next season was going to be on. I really like this show, not knowing what will be happening the next week and the story that will unfold. I’m so glad it’s coming back, and I’m first of the baby boomers. I’m 64, soon to be 65 and I love these type of programs. I love syfy. The T.V. executives keep… Read more »

I have been waiting and waiting for the return of Haven. I like the premise and the characters. A well-done series that keeps me wanting more. Ecstatic that it’s coming back.
i absolutely love this show. Can’t wait for more. On the edge of my seat waiting to continue the adventures of Haven and it’s extremely interesting residents.
I love this show. My husband loves it too and he’s not a syfy addict like me.
