The cable network SyFy is presenting a new supernatural show
this January: Lost Girl. “In one year, Lost Girl has electrified viewers in
Canada and around the world. We’re delighted to bring this fascinating,
high-octane series, which depicts a unique world and memorable heroine, to the
Syfy audience,” says Thomas Vitale, executive VP, programming at Syfy. Lost
Girl premieres on Syfy Monday, January 16, at 10/9c.
Here is the description of Lost Girl from its Canadian cable
network Showcase web site:
Lost Girl follows supernatural seductress Bo (Anna Silk:
Being Erica; Billable Hours), a Succubus who feeds on the sexual energy
(sometimes called “Chi”) of humans.
Growing up with human parents, Bo has no reason to believe she's
anything other than the girl next door – until she drains her boyfriend to
death in their first sexual encounter. Once she hits the road, Bo discovers she
is one of the Fae, creatures of legend and folklore, who pass as humans while
feeding off them secretly, as they have for millennia. Relieved yet horrified
to find out that she is not alone, Bo is faced with choosing an allegiance
between the Dark and Light Fae clans. Bo
decides to take the middle path between the humans and the Fae while embarking
on a personal mission to unlock the secrets of her origin.
With the help of her human sidekick, Kenzi (Ksenia Solo:
Black Swan, Life Unexpected), Bo takes on a challenge every week helping a Fae
or human client who comes to her to solve a mystery, or to right a wrong. Already in a love triangle with Dyson (Kris
Holden-Ried: Ben Hur, The Bridge; The Tudors), a sexy Fae working as a human
police detective, and the beautiful human scientist, Lauren (Zoie Palmer: The
Guard; Instant Star) who works for the Fae, Bo’s love life is about to get even
more complicated.
For a fan of supernatural shows in general, and Joss Whedon’s
Buffy the Vampire Slayer in particular, Lost Girl looks like it could be in a
very similar vein.
Syfy has ordered the two seasons of the show from Prodigy
Pictures that have already aired in Canada. Here’s a trailer from the Canadian
telecast!
