The UK original may have been cancelled, but Being Human fans can take solace: SyFy's US incarnation of the supernatural series is still going strong, and it's getting even better. BFTV recently connected with Sam Witwer, who plays Being Human's vampire Aidan, to get the scoop on season three.

The third season was when the UK edition said goodbye to Aidan's counterpart Mitchell, but Sam assured fans that Aidan's not going anywhere. "What happens to them doesn't happen to us," he said, referring to the eventual complete cast turnover on the original series. While the first season of SyFy's ...

SyFy announced this week that season three of Being Human will premiere Monday, January 19 at 9 pm. In addition, Kristen Hager, who plays the werewolf Nora, will join the cast as a series regular.

Spoilers ahead: Season 2 ended with vampire Aidan (Sam Witwer) being buried alive as punishment from Mother, the vampire leader. Ghost Sally (Meaghan Rath) was lost in limbo.

You've got to keep your eye on Sam Witwer.

As the vampire Aidan on SyFy's Being Human, he could take a bite out of you if he wanted. But offscreen, the Battlestar Galactica veteran's wit as is sharp as his alter-ego's fangs. He's also a man of multiple talents, not only an actor but a musician.

What if being yourself meant becoming a monster? Syfy's newest "Being Human" promo opens with Josh, Sally and Aidan having settled in their new home. Seems the three have them have adjusted well even after learning about each other's past.

A montage of scenes from the upcoming season follows with a central theme of temptation for everyone involved.

Tune-in to the new season Monday, January 16, at 9/8c on Syfy!
