Trivia / Being Human (US)

Go To

  • Fake American: The show is set in Boston, but filmed in Montreal, along with being a US-Canada co-production. Some American main characters such as Sally are played by Canadians as a result (in her case, Meaghan Rath).
  • Overtook the Manga: The original Being Human had very short seasons thanks to British Brevity. As a cable show, the US Being Human has shorter seasons than a network primetime series, but it's still way more than six episodes. As such, what begins as a fairly straight adaptation quickly develops a lot of new material.
  • Real-Life Relative:
    • Jesse Rath, the actor that plays Sally's brother in the sixth episode of Season 3, is Meaghan Rath's brother in real life, though it's worth noting he's played by a completely different actor in the pilot episode.
    • The little boy and girl that portrayed Josh and Nora's children Aidan and Sally are Sam Huntington's children Charlie and Audrey.
  • What Could Have Been: According to an interview with Sam Witwer, the show could have continued into a fifth season, but it would've had heavy budget cuts, hence the decision was made to end with season 4.
  • Jeremy Carver, one of the executive producers and co-creators for the US version, was a writer for Supernatural during season three through season five.
