......Being Human, BBC Three's award winning and critically-acclaimed drama series, written and created by Toby Whithouse, will return for a fourth series next year.
Following the gripping series three finale - in which overnight figures show 1.1m viewers watched Mitchell fall victim to the wolf-shaped bullet - series four will see the aftermath as the housemates return to their home in Barry Island. The series will also introduce some new faces following the success of recent guest artists Lacey Turner, Robson Green and Michael Socha.
Produced by Touchpaper Wales, part of Zodiak Media Group, the hit drama will fulfil the blood-thirsty appetites of its ongoing committed fan base, but also demonstrate BBC Three's commitment to original UK drama for 16-34 year olds.
Consolidated figures show series three had the biggest series launch to date, with 1.8m viewers. The series sustained an average of 1.4m viewers on television across the run and has an additional 0.4m requests per episode on iPlayer each week. Becoming Human, Being Human's exclusive online extension drama also made by Touchpaper Wales, has also moved from online to BBC Three for its final episode airing on Sunday 20 March at 9.00pm. This is BBC Three's most successful multiplatform commission, with over 1.5m views on the red button and online to date.
Harry Lansdown, Acting Controller, BBC Three says: "Being Human's brilliant mixture of fantasy and every day life continues to provide, must-see, ground breaking drama for BBC Three, and I'm delighted to announce a fourth series for 2012"
Toby Whithouse, Creator and Executive Producer says: "We were overwhelmed by the response to series three, and so we're absolutely thrilled that the BBC have given us this opportunity to continue our show into a fourth year. We've got another intense and epic story lined up for you, with some new faces and old, and even more horror and mayhem and mugs of tea. I can't wait to get started."
Rob Pursey, Executive Producer, Touchpaper Television says: "Being Human feels like it's taken on a life of its own now, and we are delighted. I've never known a drama develop such a strong relationship with its audience. We're very excited to be making a fourth series."
Eleanor Moran, Executive Producer, BBC Cymru Wales says: "Following such a dramatic finale, I am thrilled to have Being Human return for a fourth series."
The fourth series of Being Human has 8x60 minute episodes and has been commissioned by Ben Stephenson, Controller, BBC Drama Commissioning and Harry Lansdown, Acting Controller, BBC Three.
Being Human is written by Toby Whithouse (Torchwood, Doctor Who) and the fourth series will be produced by Philip Trethowan. Executive Producers are Toby Whithouse, Rob Pursey, Touchpaper Television, and Eleanor Moran, for BBC Cymru Wales

.....MITCHELL...! Is this really it? After three series, countless hours, the ecstatic highs and devastating lows, it was George who finally did the deed and ended Mitchell's long life with the words "I'm doing this because I love you".
So it's with a heavy heart we say John Mitchell... RIP.
We've gone behind the scenes of the final act of the series to see exactly how Mitchell's powerful and emotional final scene was made and to say goodbye to the fantastic Aidan Turner.
Damn, it's not easy to say those words. Alas, there are times in life when words just can't do justice to feelings. On those times we turn to Toby Whithouse, the creator of Being Human, to explain the full story...
From the first moment we met Aidan, we knew we were really only borrowing him from global super stardom. The same goes for all our cast. You can't have actors as good as Aidan and Russell and Lenora and Sinead and Jason, and not expect someone else to notice.
I guess it really hit me back when we were doing series 2, and perhaps unconsciously I shifted the stories in a way that paved Mitchell's exit. I thought it'd be better to have him go out in a scripted satisfying way, rather than lose him between series and open up with the rest of our heroes standing over a grave, with one of them saying "Wow, who'd have guessed Mitchell was SO allergic to bee stings..."
The consequences of the Box Tunnel Massacre were always going to be the cause of his demise, but whether that happened at the end of series 3 or series 33 was never defined. Contrary to a lot of the posts on the blog assuming that we'd chosen to kill him off, I didn't want to write him out until I had to. And certainly right up until the shooting script of episode 8, Mitchell was still going to be undead and kicking when the credits rolled.
But then Peter Jackson came along. And it turns out he's a fan of the show. Oh Irony, I could punch you in the neck.
Once we'd all stopped congratulating Aidan and envying him we had to decide what to do with our favourite vampire. Despite his commitments to Middle Earth, we were still planning to keep Mitchell 'alive'. Perhaps, we thought, Wyndham could dispatch him back to Bolivia and maybe (though we had to concede it was pretty unlikely given what Aidan's schedule would be for the next 3 years) we could get Mitchell back for an episode of series 7...?
But y'see, that Turner fella is smart. He knew that ending, while leaving the door open for him to return one day, would be ultimately unsatisfying. And so it was his decision - and with his encouragement - that we ended Mitchell's story there.
It was like one of your children leaving home. You're excited for them and wish them all the best... even though you really want them to stay with you forever. But like I said, with actors of that quality, it's inevitable that they're going to be offered other extraordinary opportunities.
Nonetheless, we shouldn't let the end of Mitchell's story define all that's gone before. For me it's been an honour to work with Aidan over the last 3 years. Watching him mature as an actor has been one of the great pleasures of working on this show. And aside from his skill and professionalism and talent, he's also a ridiculously nice and funny guy, and...
Actually, damn him. Seriously. I'm glad he's dead.
So let's raise a glass to Aidan Turner. It's been a blast. You appallingly talented man.
There's more to come from the world of Being Human... Come back to the blog tomorrow for a very special announcement. Plus, there's brand new Becoming Human that's just been released, plus you can recap the whole series and discover the killer in a 50min TV special next Sunday at 9pm on BBC Three.

 although apprantly hes filming in New Zealand for the next two years doing The Hobbit
Hey Everyone!
Good Luck with the Season 3 Finale tonight.. Let's all think positive thoughts about Mitchell and Annie!! I have confidence that everyone over at BBC knows how much of a HUGE following Mitchell and the Show has and to maintain that following would be EXTREMELY advantageous!!
I read an interview with Aidan the other night and he was asked about Season 4. He said that if the dates between filming the 2 movies and filming Season 4 jive, and as long as BBC has him in Season 4, as I'm sure they WILL, he'll be there! Since he is already in the midst of filming the 1st, by the time next year rolls around, he should have completed the 2nd as well.. So..I think that the timing will work out well! Andd...since BBC knew the popularity with Becoming Human, it is obvious that they know what they have with Aidan and also Season 4! Let's keep the discussions going so that BBC does the right thing!! The Internet is a very powerfull tool! According the the same article, it did wonders with all the speculation about Season 3 since day one..Think positive and look forward to Season 4 and Mitchell! | |||

"Ive just watched it and I've still got tears rolling down my face!! That was such a sad ending! I can't wait for series 4!

I love seeing men telling each other they love them in a non sexual way Im gonna make a banan sandwich and a cup of tea and going to watch it again in bed.... And before you ask there is no significance in the choice of sandwich filling and bed..... | |||
