For those outside the UK, Being Human returns for Season 2 on Saturday at 10pm on BBCAmerica.

Being Human is a show about a vampire (Mitchell), a ghost (Annie) and a werewolf (George). These roomies do not fight over who hogged the hot water, or ate all the fridge leftovers. They are more likely to destroy rooms of furniture or eat your date. In season 1 they dealt with other personal problems and supernatural threats. Take a taste of Being Human… an extended trailer for season 2 is below. Folks in the US can win a copy of Being Human Season 1 here.
