Oi! Americans! Nooooo!
The series, which will be set in Boston, will see the characters altered for the US audience. The werewolf George will be renamed Josh, while the vampire Mitchell will be Jewish.
Executive producer Rob Pursey explained: "Without letting go of the DNA of the original, it is evolving into quite a different show. It will be pacier and the characters' hinterlands are broader. So with Josh you get to see another aspect of how he copes with being the outsider."
Pursey added: "Syfy is very keen to take the humour and humanity rather than just the vampires. They want it to push the channel more mainstream."
The show, which is currently being cast, will be penned by Everwood and Privileged writer Anna Fricke and Supernatural's Jeremy Carver. It is expected to go into pre-production next month and is scheduled to air in 2011.
