NEW YORK – January 28, 2014 – Syfy has greenlit 26 new episodes of its hit series Haven, which posted growth in both Adults 18-34 and Adults 18-49 last year. The first 13 episodes of Season 5 are set to premiere this fall with the remaining 13 episodes scheduled to air in 2015.
Tallying its best season ever in social mentions and Twitter activity, Haven’s recently wrapped fourth season was up 11% among Adults 18-34 (314,000) and up 3% year-to-year among Adults 18-49 (926,000). Overall, Haven averaged 1.1 million Adults 25-54 and 2.3 million viewers per week and ranked second in Adults 18-49 and Adults 25-54 among original cable series in its Friday 10PM ET/PT time slot. (All data Live +7).
Basically it's a two season renewal without calling it a two season renewal. I think it's probably more of a contract cheat really - calling it one season means they won't have to re-negotiate contracts at the end of what would've been the normal fifth season. But who cares? It's more Haven and more Haven is good. On the other hand, it could mean that season six (um) the latter half of season five could be the end. NOTE: I said "could mean" not that it "did mean" that.
