Sci-Fi Storm

Jason Priestley (Call Me Fitz) and WWE Superstar Edge (who was seen this past season on Sanctuary) will each guest in 4 episodes of Haven, both starting with this Friday’s episode (10PM ET on Syfy), with Priestley appearing in the 8/12, 8/19 and 9/9 episodes, and Edge returning on 9/9 and the following two episodes.

Priestley, who leaped to stardom in Beverly Hills, 90210, plays Chris Weekly, a handsome but anti-social marine biologist who is forced to deal with an affliction most would consider a blessing — everyone suddenly loves him and will do anything he wants.

Along with the big programming announcement, Syfy also said that with the success of their “Countdown to Christmas Week” last December which featured special holiday episodes of Eureka and Warehouse 13, this year those shows plus Ghost Hunters and Haven will feature holiday-themed episodes, and the week’s centerpiece this year will be Neverland, featuring the voice of Keira Knightley as Tinker Bell, which we’ve reported on earlier.

Syfy will also have a Twilight Zone New Years marathon for the 17th straight year.

Jason Priestley (Call Me Fitz) has just signed on to direct an episode and guest star in 4 episodes in the second season of Syfy’s Haven. Production on the second season of 13 episodes picks up April 1st, with late summer the target to begin airing episodes. Priestley will play “a handsome but anti-social marine biologist who must deal with an affliction most would consider a blessing.”
