Bitten is a Canadian fantasy television series based on the Women of the Otherworld series of books by author Kelley Armstrong. The name was inspired by the first book in the series. The show was produced as an original series for Space, with most filming in Toronto and Cambridge, Ontario. Its third and final season finished in April 2016.[1][2]

Series overview

[edit]
Main article: List of Bitten episodes

The first season's story centres on Elena Michaels (portrayed by Laura Vandervoort), a female werewolf who is torn between a normal life in Toronto with her human boyfriend, Philip, and her "family" obligations as a werewolf in upstate New York. Among her pack is her ex-fiancé Clayton, who is responsible for her becoming a werewolf.[3]

In the second season, story centres on the aftermath of the battle, as other packs demand they hunt down the remaining rebellion, as well as the meeting of witches Paige and Ruth, who are looking to save their lost coven member, Savannah, from evil warlock Aleister.

The third season reveals Elena's true origins as members of her biological family who she did not know about come to find her. However, they have a secret too, in that they are on the run from another larger, more dangerous pack.
