We had the pleasure of chatting with Being Human's Sam Witwer, Meaghan Rath, And Sam Huntington about the Syfy series which launches next year! Check it out below.

What's it like in terms of having this other series and yet having to create your own characters? Has that been daunting for you?

MEAGHAN RATH: Well, we've -- we haven't watched that much of the British one. I watched a couple of them during the audition process just to get an idea of what the tone was for the show. But since we started, they don't want us to watch any -- anything so we have this fresh -- we're bringing something new to it. But we definitely have some really big shoes to fill because those guys are amazing, and it's such a smart, original show.

SAM HUNTINGTON: Yeah.

SAM WITWER: Yeah, you can only really hope that whatever we end up doing honors what they've done and brings a bigger audience to them, and in turn perhaps their audience supplements ours, and it's a big happy family. That's the hope.

SAM HUNTINGTON: It's the circle of television.

MEAGHAN RATH: Circle of life.

SAM WITWER: You guys have heard of the circle of television.

MEAGHAN RATH: It's the circle of life.

SAM WITWER: Of course.

SAM HUNTINGTON: Yeah, I'm intimidated. I'm not kidding, like full on. I've seen a little bit of the British show and think the world of it and think the world of Russell Tovey, who plays the werewolf on the British show. So I'm -- I just want to honor that and, like, obviously try and bring something different and new to it to respect him and what he does. So yeah, I'm a little -- I just -- but at the end of the day, I know what we're doing is fantastic. So I'm not scared.

SAM WITWER: And I've only seen one episode. When I was getting ready to audition, I watched one episode. And when I got the notion that I wanted to do this project, I knew I had to stop watching so I wouldn't unintentionally mimic what Aidan Turner is doing, which I thought was absolutely correct. So I'm like, "I need to forget what this wonderful actor is doing." But I do love the idea that my character is named after him, so that's kind of cool. I think that's --

MEAGHAN RATH: It's an homage.

SAM WITWER: That's about right. They've done some wonderful things, and they deserve the credit for it.

MARK STERN [Syfy executive]: Yeah. Jeremy and, I think --

SAM HUNTINGTON: Anna.

MARK STERN: Jeremy and Anna have done a really nice job of kind of weaving through that and --

SAM HUNTINGTON: Lovely job. I mean, honestly, they're geniuses. Yeah, yeah, because it's got to be really hard for them. You know what I mean?

SAM WITWER: Yeah.

SAM HUNTINGTON: Having this -- it's one thing to create something original, and it's another thing to try and have original ideas through something that's already been woven. I mean, it's tricky.

MARK STERN: Yeah. Jeremy Carver and Anna Fricke, who are the showrunners -- writer/showrunners of our version.

SAM HUNTINGTON: And just awesome people.

MEAGHAN RATH: So much fun.

SAM WITWER: Cool.

MEAGHAN RATH: Love them.

Have you met your counterparts, your British counterparts, the actors?

MEAGHAN RATH: No, never.

SAM WITWER: Negative.

SAM HUNTINGTON: Can't wait.

MEAGHAN RATH: Might be awkward.

SAM HUNTINGTON: It's not going to be awkward. It's going to be awesome.

SAM WITWER: Just fight them.

SAM HUNTINGTON: Just fight them. Write that down.

(Laughter.)

SAM WITWER: Right. I think we're all looking forward to it.

MEAGHAN RATH: Yeah, we can't wait.

SAM HUNTINGTON: Very, very much.

SAM WITWER: Because we owe them a debt of gratitude in a big way.

SAM HUNTINGTON: Yeah, totally.

MEAGHAN RATH: And what we hope is that fans of the British one will be fans of ours and fans of ours will be fans of the British one --

SAM HUNTINGTON: Exactly.

MEAGHAN RATH: -- and that we all just sort of help each other.

SAM HUNTINGTON: Right.

SAM WITWER: Circle of television?

SAM HUNTINGTON: Circle of television.

SAM WITWER: Is that what we call it?

SAM HUNTINGTON: Didn't we already talk about this?

SAM WITWER: Yeah, the circle of television.
