Flower Mound, TX – June 18, 2012 - FUNimation Entertainment announced today that it has acquired the Blu-ray & DVD, DTO/DTR/EST, (and via digital carriers) PPV and VOD rights to the hit series, Lost Girl as seen on cable’s SyFy Channel and Showcase in Canada.
Series synopsis:
Lost Girl follows supernatural seductress Bo (Anna Silk: Being Erica; Billable Hours), a Succubus (a powerful female entity in folklore) who feeds off sexual energy. Raised by human parents, Bo had no reason to believe she was anything other than the girl next door - until she "drained" her first boyfriend to death.
Bo discovers she is one of the Fae, creatures of legend who pass as humans while secretly feeding off them. Faced with choosing between an allegiance to the Dark or Light Fae clans, Bo takes the middle path between the human and Fae worlds while embarking on a mission to unlock the secrets of her origin.
Bo’s succubus nature tangles her in a sexy love-triangle with Dyson (Kris Holden-Reid: Ben Hur, The Bridge; The Tudors), a shape shifting Fae and homicide detective, and Lauren (Zoie Palmer: The Guard; Instant Star), a human doctor who has found a way through science to help give Bo the sexual self-control she’s been aching for. Navigating this complicated life with Bo is her human confidante and street-smart survivor, Kenzi (Ksenia Solo: Black Swan; Life Unexpected).
Lost Girl was developed by Prodigy Pictures, in association with Shaw Media and Showcase. Executive producers are Jay Firestone, Emily Andras, Plato Fountidakis, and Paul Rapovski. James Thorpe is co-executive producer, Vanessa Piazza is co-producer and Wanda Chaffey is producer.
Season One will be released on October 23, 2012 with Season Two following on November 13, 2012.

Funimation is branch out there shows so they can make more money. it hard to make money only on anime
once you get past the sometimes bad acting, it was pretty good.. but I was surprised that FUNimation is doing it.. I associate them with just anime.
will it be uncensored on the US releases though? I'm pretty sure Syfy has edited some of the language and sex scenes.
This looks promising. We're already 3 seasons in. How about streaming it for your subscribers?
WTF!! This has nothing to do with anime!
With Dragon0 here. Seriously? A show about a Succubus? That's degrading to sex.
I'm gonna admit, I wtf'd a little when I first read this, but it's actually kinda cool. I've been watching the series on Syfy and it's pretty entertaining. It's sex-positive, mixed-mythological, and has cheesy Canadian TV special effects, so it's all-around solid show
YES! I've only watched the first few episodes. But then I got busy with anime and other stuff. So I was never able to watch the rest. I'm glad you guys got this! Good job Funi!! And all those who haven't seen it. Give it a try.. Trust me!! :D (btw the synopsis doesn't give the show its justice.)
And if you're a True Blood fan. You should really give this show a chance.
I for one think it is a good idea for Funimation to try to branch out, and reach a non-anime dominated demographic. Unfortunately I am not really interested in live-action stuff, but I hope this title works out for you guys!
This don't look like anything I ever wanted to see licenced. I'll pass on this thanks.
Why? It sure isn't anime.
