'Being Human': Sam Witwer on 'Swinging for the Fences' and Bittersweet Series Finale

Being Human is closing its doors.

After four seasons and more than 50 episodes, Syfy's adaptation of the British drama finishes its run with a series finale that promises to finish the story of the four supernatural roommates. In "There Goes the Neighborhood Part III," Sally (Meaghan Rath) makes a sacrifice to keep her vision of Aidan (Sam Witwer) killing Josh (Sam Huntington) from coming to fruition, while Josh and Nora (Kristen Hager) consider their future as parents.

As Witwer hints to The Hollywood Reporter, "not everyone makes it out of this" in Monday's swan song. In a candid chat, the actor previews the series' final episode, reveals his favorite episodes and tells what he'll miss most.

When did you know this was the final season of Being Human?

We knew about a year ago. We were in a position where some weird things were happening with the finance and what it all amounted to was our budget going down and basically the decision was, sure, we could make a season five but it might not be any good. We all talked and decided that the best thing to do was to end it with season four and so we went to Syfy to make that request. First they said "sure" to an ending and they weren't committing to it, but thankfully they honored the ending we created because the whole season was designed to be a swan song for all these characters.

It's somewhat of a rarity for television shows to end on that note.

It's extraordinarily rare, and to be honest, I'm super surprised that it all worked out because you never get that opportunity to end things on your own terms, to have something you feel happy with as a story from beginning to end. I really respect Syfy for honoring that.
