Following the success of Series 3 earlier this year, Being Human was recommissioned for another eight 60-minute episodes in March.

Writing on the show’s official blog, Whithouse teased: “There will be lots of new faces, an old face, a genuinely shocking death, a new villain, a sort-of new kind of supernatural (though that could change… we’re very fickle…), a new writer and a journey to somewhere even we have never gone before.”

The writer also commented: “Each series gets harder to make as, hopefully, we set the bar higher and higher. But I think we’ve got another corker for you.”

Last month, actor Craig Roberts (Subarmine) announced that he will return as vampire Adam in Series 4, following his role in Series 3 Episode 2 and the online spin-off series Becoming Human.
