Syfy has ordered 13 episodes of the new series "Being Human," based on the BBC Three series about a vampire, a werewolf and a ghost who end up as roommates.

Jeremy Carver and Anna Fricke, the husband-and-wife writing duo behind such series as "Supernatural" and "Privileged", will script, according to Syfy's EVP for Original Programming Mark Stern, who recently made the announcement at the Television Critics Association Winter Press Tour.

"[He's] kind of got the genre cred, and Anna comes out of a more character-based drama world, so between them they'll be really interesting," Stern said in an interview with The Futon Critic.

Stern is looking to have the series ready for a summer 2010 launch.
