Today, Syfy announced that it has acquired the second season of werewolf drama Bitten - which Canadian broadcaster Space ordered earlier this month. The series will begin production later this season in Toronto for a 2015 premiere on Syfy.
"Bitten is a fast-paced and edgy series which has found a growing and passionate fan base on our channel," said Chris Regina, Senior Vice President, Programming. "We're delighted to bring the series back to Syfy next year."
Added Prentiss Fraser, Senior Vice President, Worldwide Sales & Acquisitions, eOne Television International: "We're absolutely thrilled with the tremendous support and enthusiasm from fans across social media since the debut of Bitten. We look forward to working with the talented cast and crew on another compelling season and continuing our partnership with Syfy in bringing the series back to viewers in the U.S. next year."
During its first season Syfy, Bitten averaged 1.1 million total viewers based on Live+7 data.
Based on the Women of the Otherworld novels by author Kelley Armstrong, Bitten stars Laura Vandervoort as Elena Michaels, the lone female werewolf in existence. The drama also stars Greg Bryk, Greyston Holt, Steve Lund and Michael Xavier.
