Fae fans rejoice! Showcase announces the renewal of massive hit series Lost Girl for a third season. The blockbuster Canadian original series will begin production on season three in Spring 2012.
Since launching to record-breaking audiences in September 2010, Lost Girl has become Showcase’s highest rated drama series. During its first season run, Lost Girl ranked number one on the channel for adults 25-54 and was the top scripted series across all specialty channels (A25-54)*. Since returning in September 2011 the second season has averaged close to 400,000 viewers (2+) to date*, and was greenlit for an unprecedented 22 episodes.
Viewers craving more action-packed adventures and steamy drama can look forward to all-new episodes when season two continues January 22 at 9 pm ET/PT on Showcase.
Lost Girl stars supernatural seductress Bo (Anna Silk; Being Erica, Billable Hours), a tough yet loveable Succubus who survives by feeding off sexual energy. She discovers she is one of the Fae, creatures of legend and folklore who live among humans. Bo refuses to choose an allegiance to either the Dark or Light Fae clans, as she embarks on a personal mission to unlock the secrets of her origin.
Season two finds Bo struggling to stay free and questioning her morals and beliefs; all the while an ancient evil force grows more powerful and threatens the very existence of the Fae. As Bo grows more confident and struggles to learn who she really is, her once strong relationships are put to the test, new passions are ignited and as always, answers will not come easily.
Rounding out the Lost Girl cast is Gemini Award-winner Ksenia Solo (Life Unexpected; Black Swan) as Bo’s human confidante and street-smart survivor, Kenzi; Kris Holden-Ried (Ben Hur, The Tudors, Underworld 4) as the Fae homicide detective and Bo’s love interest, Dyson; Zoie Palmer (The Guard, Instant Star, XIII) as a human doctor who competes for Bo’s heart, Lauren; Rick Howland (Billable Hours, Murdoch Mysteries) as the mysterious tavern owner, Trick; and K.C. Collins (Owning Mahowny, Doomstown) as a handsome male “Siren” and Dyson’s partner on the force, Hale.
