A 50-minute special of the eight-part online series will air at 9pm on Sunday 20th March, the week after Being Human‘s Series 3 finale.

Becoming Human has had over 1.5 million views on the BBC Red Button and online to date.

Sarah Clay, BBC Multiplatform Drama Commissioner, says: “The reaction from the fans has been brilliant. We commissioned it as a treat for the online fans and they’ve totally got into the spirit of it – analysing daily clues, coming up with theories…”

Series creator Toby Whithouse says: “We were delighted when Becoming Human found such a loyal and enthusiastic audience online. The reaction was beyond our most optimistic dreams. And so for the BBC to give us this opportunity to share the show with a wider audience is fantastic news.”

Becoming Human is written by Being Human writers Brian Dooley, Jamie Mathieson and John Jackson.
