Space renews Bitten

The werewolf drama will be back for a second season following a successful inaugural run.

Bell Media has finally greenlit a second season of its original Space drama Bitten.

The mediaco has been staying tight-lipped about the future of the sci-fi drama, which follows the plight of the world’s only female werewolf.

Bitten has been the subject of an active social media campaign calling for its renewal, #RenewBitten, complete with a Change.org petition signed by almost 3,000 fans.

The second season order is for 10 one-hour episodes. The drama had a strong debut on Space  this winter, becoming the channel’s highest-rated premiere for an original drama in its history and ultimately the channel’s most-watched original drama ever.

According to BBM data provided by Bell Media, Bitten had an average weekly audience of 347,000 viewers in its 9 p.m. Saturday timeslot.
