Haven Renewed for a 26-Episode Season 5!

You know what?

I knew this was going to happen.

I had a wild thought a few weeks ago about Syfy renewing Haven for two more seasons, which is pretty much the same as today announcement...

Haven has been renewed for a 26-Episode Season 5!!!

How awesome and crazy is that? It's just fantastic.

Now, I suggest we all thank Syfy for this, after bombarding them with so many renewal tweets.

I refused to watch the last 3 episodes of Season 4 until the renewal came. Now I will.

Thank you Syfy!

This was today's announcement:

How Syfy Turns TV Shows Into Social Phenomenons

Q&A With Syfy Digital's Craig Engler

Which Syfy programs have the most social engagement and why?

On the scripted side, right now Haven is driving the most social engagement for us. That's happening both because the show is airing new episodes and because we worked with the show's producers to build social components into the show itself. For instance, we created a social story line that lead up to the season premiere and tied into the fabric of the series itself, and two of the show's characters also have an active presence on Twitter. As a result, almost every episode of the season has trended on Twitter.

Syfy Set for 31 Days of Halloween

Hershey treats back networks tricks

By Jon Lafayette -- Broadcasting & Cable, 9/30/2012 9:00:00 PM

Syfy is getting in costume for one of its favorite holidays, Halloween.

The network is again teaming up with NYC & Co. to stage events named for Syfy shows around New York's five boroughs. Nationally, viewers will be able to participate in sweepstakes through Syfy.com or via social media.

The 31 Days of Halloween programming stunt is sponsored by Hershey, which will have an expanded multiplatform presence, including ads on-air, on Syfy.com and outdoors around New York during the month. Hershey is also sponsoring October Movie Madness on Chiller, another NBCUniversal cable network. The Chiller sponsorship includes custom vignettes tied to the original shows Dead Souls and The American Scream.

During the 31 Days, Syfy will air a live episode of its makeup competition show, Face Off; special holiday episodes of Paranormal Witness and Haven; and two original movies, American Horror House and Rise of the Zombies.

31 Days of Halloween NYC events will be held in 14 city parks. The events include a Pooch Parade, Shocktoberfest and the annual Central Park Pumpkin Fest. The Syfy Halloween NYC Fest will be held in Flatiron Plaza Oct 26-28, with crafts, goodies, face-painting and music.

Viewers nationally will be able to participate in the mayhem through a GetGlue social media sweepstakes. People who check in to either four airings of any one show during the 31 Days or four of the network's special Halloween programs will get a sticker and entry to win an NBC Store prize package.

A National Flyaway Sweepstakes is available to visitors of Syfy.com. Prizes include airfare on JetBlue to New York, a two-night stay at Yotel hotel, VIP seating at the Greenwich Village Halloween Parade and a holiday makeover by Spirit Halloween. Last year's sweepstakes drew nearly 100,000 entries.

Syfy will be promoting its 31 Days of Halloween with an outdoor campaign blanketing bus shelters, light poles, newsstands, phone booths and taxi TV screens.

"Once again, Syfy is thrilled to work with NYC & Company to bring this rich selection of family friendly events throughout the five boroughs," said Michael Engleman, executive VP, marketing and global brand strategy for the network.

"Thousands of New Yorkers and visitors gather each year in New York City to celebrate Halloween," said George Fertitta, CEO of NYC & Co., the city's official marketing organization. "Every year, the holiday generates excitement across the five boroughs and showcases New York City's vibrant atmosphere. 31 Days of HalloweeNYC offers an array of unique experiences for every age and interest all month-long."

Season Three Premiere of Syfy's 'Haven' Becomes #1 Primetime Drama Among Adults 25-54 on September 21

via press release:

SEASON THREE PREMIERE OF SYFY’S HAVEN BECOMES #1 PRIMETIME DRAMA AMONG ADULTS 25-54 ON SEPTEMBER 21

NEW YORK – September 24, 2012 – The season three premiere of Syfy’s hit drama series Haven became the #1 primetime drama on cable in Adults 25-54 during its telecast on Friday, September 21 from 10-11 PM (ET/PT).

The delivery of 899,000 Adults 25-54 was up 13 percent from the season two premiere and represented the series’ best delivery in that demo in two years (September 2010).

Haven also drew 2.0 million total viewers, up six percent versus the July 2011 season two premiere.

In the premiere, Haven picked up immediately following the events of the gripping season two finale with Audrey (Emily Rose) having been kidnapped; Nathan (Lucas Bryant) warned against pursuing a romantic relationship with Audrey; and Duke (Eric Balfour) seemingly engaged in a fight to the death with Nathan after he discovers his family lineage is to kill Haven citizens with Troubles.

This season’s guest stars include Iain Glen (Game of Thrones, Downton Abbey), Bree Williamson (Gossip Girl, One Life To Live), Laura Vandervoort (Smallville, White Collar), Edge (WWE Superstar), Dorian Missick (Southland, The Cape), Kate Kelton (Harold and Kumar, American Psycho 2), Nolan North (Uncharted video game series, Pretty Little Liars), and Claudia Black (Uncharted video game series, Farscape).

Following last year’s successful innovative Twitter campaign, season three will introduce online viewers to a new entity in the Haven mythology—The Guard. Mysterious and deeply entrenched in the history of Haven, The Guard has hijacked Haven social media channels to get their message out—if you are troubled, we can help #EscapeToHaven by @TheGuardHaven. The Guard—represented by Kate Kelton, who portrays ’Jordan McKee” — has taken over Facebook (facebook.com/haven), YouTube (youtube.com/syfyimaginegreater) and Twitter profiles for Haven (Twitter.com/TheGuardHaven), using these social media channels to tell the story of Haven, and to attract new “recruits” to Haven.

Haven, based on the novella The Colorado Kid from renowned author Stephen King, follows former FBI agent Audrey Parker, who becomes a cop in the small town of Haven, Maine, and soon discovers the town’s many secrets, which also hold the key to unlocking the mysteries of her lost past.

From leading independent studio Entertainment One (eOne), Haven is co-commissioned by Shaw Media in Canada and globally via Universal Networks International (UNI).

The creative team behind Haven includes executive producers John Morayniss (The Firm, Hell On Wheels) from eOne Television and David MacLeod (Legends of the Fall, The Ray Bradbury Theater) of Big Motion Pictures, who are joined by Lloyd Segan, Shawn Piller, Scott Shepherd (Stephen King’s The Dead Zone, Greek) of Piller/Segan/Shepherd and Matt McGuinness (Journeyman, Dark Blue) as well as Sam Ernst & Jim Dunn (Stephen King’s The Dead Zone), who also developed the series.

Haven is produced by Entertainment One and Big Motion Pictures in association with Piller/Segan/Shepherd and airs on Syfy in the U.S., Showcase in Canada and internationally on Universal Networks International’s channels. Entertainment One controls the worldwide distribution rights to the one-hour series and concluded a deal with Germany’s Tele München Group (TMG) for the television rights in Continental Europe.

No Return Date Set for Season 3 Yet

We know Haven has been renewed for a Season 3, so no problem there.

But today, Syfy announced its summer schedule and Haven was not included.

This is not something we should worry about because, well, we know the show is coming back, so I guess the show will be back in the fall and if it is... the wait is killing all of us!

The important thing here is, whenever Haven is back, we cannot stop watching. Fall is very competitive and we need to be there supporting the show.

Season 3 hasn't begun, and I already want a Season 4.
We'll keep you updated.
