Lost Girl Season 3 Scoop

July 27, 2012 Leave a comment

What can we expect in season 3?
While we have seen a lot of the Light Fae world so far, we are going to see more of the Dark Fae world in Season 3, according to Firestone. We also will learn a bit more about Trick and Dyson, with Trick having chosen Dyson at some point.

Why did show not come to U.S. until now?
Firestone explained that he initially wanted the show to be shown in U.S., but the networks that offered to pick it up wanted to be able to edit it their way and he refused, wanting to keep the story intact.

Is there a difference in the series being shown in the U.S.?
Firestone said that airing on Syfy in the U.S. is 90 seconds shorter than the original version. Ironically, he doesn’t cut the items you think he would (sexuality, violence, etc). As mentioned above, he works to tell the same story, just 90 seconds shorter. It’s very tough to do sometimes.  He did stress that Syfy is amazingly generous in allowing him to do all the edits AND we will get the 90 seconds back on the DVDs!

On the sexual orientation and relationships of the show.
Jay was clear that the relationships in the show were not about a woman being with a man or with another woman; it’s about a person being with another person, making a connection of the a heart. Kris went on to say that he really likes that the show doesn’t do sexual classifications and focuses on the relationships of the people.

Will we see more of Kenzi’s back story?
Jay confirmed that we will learn more of Kenzie’s back story and that she is much more complex that we initially believe she is. Also they have had a lot of fun with all of this. Look for a Wizard of Oz reference in Season 3 involving Kenzie.

On their favorite episodes.
Solo said that Episode 6 in Season 3 is her favorite. It involves Dyson and growling, but she would not say more. Holden-Ried liked two episodes from Season 2, first “BrotherFae of the Wolves” for getting a flashback to Dyson’s history and “Original Skin,” as the body swapping was a lot of fun to act.

Terminator’s Linda Hamilton Lands a Killer Role on Syfy’s Lost Girl

July 19, 2012 Leave a comment

She be back!

Linda Hamilton, who figured into the fourth and final seasons of NBC’s Chuck, is returning to TV with a badass role on Syfy’s supernatural-tinged Lost Girl.

The Terminator film franchise alum will guest-star in Season 3′s 10th episode as Acacia, “a tough, sexy and ruthless assassin who has enjoyed a storied and deadly career.” As one might surmise — as one always should when it comes to ruthless, legendary assassins! — Acacia’s arrival will spell trouble for Bo and company.

In addition to Chuck, Hamilton’s TV credits include the upcoming miniseries Air Force One Is Down, FX’s Thief mini, Weeds and, of course, the original Beauty and the Beast.

‘Lost Girl’ Renewed: Syfy Orders Season 3, Plus Scoop From Insiders

June 6, 2012 Leave a comment

Good news for fans of the Fae: The Huffington Post has exclusively learned that Syfy has renewed “Lost Girl” for a third season, which will arrive on the network in January 2013.

Canadian fans may already be aware that the frisky drama, which chronicles life in an underground community called the Fae, had been renewed north of the border several months ago, but the Syfy renewal means that American “Lost Girl” fans won’t be left behind as the 13-episode third season unfolds.

The 22-episode second season of “Lost Girl,” which stars Anna Silk as a succubus named Bo, is currently airing on Syfy on Mondays, but as of July 20, the supernatural drama is moving to Fridays at 10 p.m. ET.

Season 3 will feature a new face: Rachel Skarsten. The actress has appeared in “The Vow” and “Flashpoint,” and will recur as Tamsin, a thrill-seeking Fae who, according to the network, “ruffles many feathers.” (Don’t they mean faethers?). Cast members Silk, Kris Holden-Ried (a cop/shifter named Dyson), Ksenia Solo (Bo’s sidekick, Kenzi), Zoie Palmer (a human doctor named Lauren who is, along with Dyson, one of Bo’s love interests), Rick Howland (Fae bar owner Trick) and K.C. Collins (Fae cop Hale) will return for Season 3. Emmanuelle Vaugier will recur once again as the Dark Fae leader named the Morrigan.

I’ve written here and here about how much I enjoy this escapist yet emotionally involving show, so I couldn’t be happier to hear that there are lots of Bo adventures to come.

Michelle Lovretta, the creator of “Lost Girl,” was understandably excited about the U.S. renewal news. “It goes without saying that I’m thrilled that Syfy is bringing us back for a third season, just as I was thrilled when [Canadian network] Showcase greenlit that season for production a few months ago,” Lovretta told HuffPost TV in an email interview. “Honestly, these characters are so intensely real to me that when the show eventually concludes, I know I’m going to miss them in an ugly-cry, rocking-in-the-bathtub sort of way, so every season order we get is a gift to my mental health.” Lovretta added that she will be writing “one or two” episodes in the third season, including Episode 310, which she called “scary and heartbreaky.”

Lovretta has been involved with “Lost Girl” as a “fairy godmother” in Seasons 2 and 3, not as the day-to-day showrunner (she talked more about that transition and about the show’s commendable exploration of sexuality here). For Season 3, the showrunner role falls to executive producer Emily Andras, and I couldn’t resist shooting a few questions to her as well. Here are Andras’ answers on what’s to come when Season 3 rolls around.

What can fans expect from Season 3?
The succubus who refused to make a choice is finally forced to make some big ones.

What will there be more of and less of?
More sex. More drama. More lightning-in-a-bottle chemistry between our incredibly talented cast. More fiercely witty lady superheroes kicking ass while enjoying non-mean-girl friendships. Less lovers in comas (notice I didn’t say “none”).

Can you talk about the “romantic choice” Bo will have to make in Season 3?
Lemme just say this: Can a succubus ever truly be monogamous? Even if she wants to?

Will there be a new big bad or an ongoing arc during the season?
Several ongoing arcs. As to a new “big bad,” well, Bo’s hard-fought notions of good vs. evil will be seriously challenged. Everything — and everyone — in her life may not be what they appear. Including Bo herself …

Are there any specific directions in which you’d like to take the show?
Into a world where a bisexual protagonist is non-news. I’m so proud of the comedic ambitions of “Lost Girl,” that it’s dedicated genre [fare] that doesn’t take itself too seriously, but I also love exploring the shades of gray; the moral ambiguity of characters who may live forever and their relationships with mortals who will not. I’m also obsessed with the different cultures, politics — the rules of the Light Fae vs. the Dark. These are worlds I would feel lucky to play in for years.
