I remember reading that the creator of Heroes originally wanted to start with a whole new cast every season, and it retrospect, it may have been a better idea.
Wash: Don't fall asleep now. Sleepiness is weakness of character. Ask anyone. You're acting captain. Know what happens you fall asleep now? Zoe: Jayne slits my throat, and takes over. Wash: That's right. Zoe: And we can't stop it.

More details about the new "Being Human":
I had no idea that certain cast members have left before Season 4 has even begun!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Tovey's not one of them, BTW. He leaves midseason.
The replacements look entirely replacey. Worse than Misfits. I am paralysed with not caring.

...And a postscript, from the BBC's announcement of new drama projects.
The focus on BBC1 drama also came with the admission that the commitment to drama on BBC3 would be downgraded, with either Being Human or Lip Service axed after their next series or no recommission for The Fades.
So it doesn't look as if there's a lot to play for.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Wha? No more Fades? Really? Wha?
No!
That is some of the darkest shit I have ever seen and they aren't renewing it?

The BBC is having to take quite a serious financial hit at the moment. The (little-watched) digital channels and BBCTHREE in particular are shouldering some fairly hefty cutbacks. Hence the cancellation of Doctor Who Confidential, for example.
As I understand it, at the moment either BH OR the Fades OR Lip Service will get the axe, but right now it isn't clear which.

Huh. I could swear I just read Sera's standard "Bobby's dead, but if we can find a good way to get Jim Beaver back on the show, we'd never say no.:
