The main cast of the hit Syfy series “Haven” all have
their bets on how long the series will last, and show producer and
distributor Entertainment One is hoping actor Lucas Bryant (The Vow,
“Queer as Folk”) has it right.
Fellow “Haven” actors Eric Balfour (Skyline, “24”) and Emily Rose
(“E.R.,” “Brothers and Sisters”) are guessing five and seven seasons,
respectively, while Bryant is going for a full nine.
After how popular the first two seasons have been with fans and
critics alike — and with a third season set to debut in late September —
the idea of that many seasons isn’t a stretch.
Centered on Rose’s FBI character, Audrey Parker, the series follows
her investigation into the paranormal happenings of Haven, Maine, a
refuge for the gifted and a place of constant intrigue and secrets,
including secrets about Parker’s forgotten past.
“The audience tunes in because they like the dynamics of these
characters,” Balfour said, speaking at the annual San Diego Comic-Con
International. “My favorite episodes are the ones that have a direct
impact on us.”
The third season of the series will debut in the fall, a change from
the summer debuts of the first two seasons, and a show of faith in the
series.
“It’s a double-edged sword,” Balfour said. “There are more viewers in
the fall, but there’s more competition. It can be a blessing or a
curse.”
Fans are urged to tune in regardless, as after two seasons of
establishing characters and plot lines, season three “is the biggest
we’ve done,” Balfour said.
“For fans who’ve been watching [the entire series] there’s a lot of
payoff,” Rose said. “That’s one of the best parts about making it to the
third season. We’re family. We’re friends.”
The third season of “Haven” will debut Sept. 21, and on Sept. 4
Entertainment One will release the second season on DVD and Blu-ray
Disc. Bonus features have yet to be announced, though cast members are
hinting at commentaries, deleted scenes and behind-the-scenes footage.
“I know I’ve given them at least three and a half hours of complete nonsense,” Bryant joked. “They can choose to use that.”
