It's actually based on a series of books, so the show has plenty of material to work with -- which is good news since it's coming back for a new season.

The werewolf drama is based on the "Pack" stories by Canadian author Kelley Armstrong, part of her larger "Otherworld" universe. There are currently 29 "Pack" stories, five of which are novels, the rest being novellas and short stories.

Most of the stories are centered around a werewolf named Elena, who is also the main character of the "Bitten" TV series. Elena is the only female werewolf in the world, though she resists her heritage and tries to live a normal, human life in Toronto (the series is produced in Canada).

Armstrong says that interest in werewolves has a lot to do with a country's nature.

"Almost any culture that has some kind of wild canine has a version of the werewolf myth," she told "The Globe and Mail" in a 2010 interview.

The first novel in the series is called "Bitten" as well and was released in 2001. It was a hit, and her books have gotten more popular since, eventually landing her on the "New York Times" bestseller list.

The show airs on the Space Channel in her native Canada and on Syfy in the U.S. Its first season was a hit on both networks, and it's returning for another round this month. If its popularity keeps up, it will be the second of many, hence the need for all the books.

The show has proved to be a fan favorite as well, which has, of course, pleased its producers.

"We're absolutely thrilled with the tremendous support and enthusiasm from fans across social media since the debut of 'Bitten,'" said Prentiss Fraser, a senior vice-president of the show's production company, Entertainment One. "We look forward to working with the talented cast and crew on another compelling season."
