The 13-episode second season of the Syfy drama “Being Human” will premiere at 8 p.m. Monday, Jan. 16, according to a news release.

Sam Witwer, Meaghan Rath and Sam Huntington star in the series about a vampire, a ghost and a werewolf trying to live as normally as they possibly can.

The beginning of the second season, as described in this synopsis by Syfy, is as follows:

Aidan tries to steer a leaderless Boston while resisting his deadlier vampire instincts as he finds himself tempted and tormented by a figure from his past. Sally must face the consequences of missing her door while figuring out how to navigate life on earth as a ghost. Josh searches for a cure for his condition while struggling to maintain his relationship with Nora and, like the rest of his roommates, trying to build a future for himself beyond simply being a monster.

Dichen Lachman (“Dollhouse”) and Kyle Schmid (“The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants”) are among the guest stars this season.
