"Being Human will return for six more episodes in 2013, it has been confirmed. A fifth series of the paranormal drama was first announced last night (March 25), following the conclusion of the fourth run. &amp;quot;Being Human lives on!&amp;quot; said series creator Toby Whithouse. &amp;quot;The response to series four has been terrific. We&amp;#039;re thrilled that the audience have taken the new cast into their hearts with such enthusiasm and affection.  &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;re delighted to have this opportunity to expand the world further and explore new characters and tell new stories. A heartfelt thank you to all the fans for their unstinting support, and to the BBC for letting us mess up the sandpit for a fifth year.&amp;quot; Details of the new episodes are still being kept under wraps, though both vampire Hal (Damien Molony) and werewolf Tom (Michael Socha) will return.  &amp;quot;In Being Human, Toby has created an extraordinary, funny, touching, supernatural world and I&amp;#039;m thrilled to be bringing it back for a fifth series,&amp;quot; said BBC Three controller Zai Bennett. It has also been confirmed that Lenora Crichlow will not reprise the role of ghost Annie, with a video confirming the character&amp;#039;s exit being released on the show&amp;#039;s official blog. &amp;quot;Sometimes, you have to just respect that a story [and] a character has come to a natural end,&amp;quot; said Whithouse. &amp;quot;Lenora completely understood that and completely agreed with it.&amp;quot; The actress agreed: &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t know if there&amp;#039;s much more for her to do, if I&amp;#039;m honest. [But] I really will miss playing Annie - she&amp;#039;s such a fantastic character to play.&amp;quot; &amp;gt; Being Human: &amp;#039;The War Child&amp;#039; series four finale recap Watch Lenora Crichlow discuss her Being Human exit below:  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
