The most successful series in Syfy history, Warehouse 13 follows a team of government agents who work at a massive, top-secret storage facility in windswept South Dakota which houses every strange artifact, mysterious relic, fantastical object and preternatural souvenir ever collected by the U.S. government. The Warehouse’s caretaker Artie Nielsen (Saul Rubinek) charges Pete Lattimer (Eddie McClintock), Myka Bering (Joanne Kelly), aspiring agent Claudia Donovan (Allison Scagliotti) and newcomer Steve Jinks (Aaron Ashmore) with chasing down reports of supernatural and paranormal activity in search of new objects to cache at the Warehouse, as well as helping him to control the Warehouse itself. CCH Pounder plays the Warehouse’s mysterious caretaker, Mrs. Frederic.
Warehouse 13 is produced for Syfy by Universal Cable Productions. Jack Kenny (The Book of Daniel) is executive producer and showrunner.
at last, a syfy channel show that isn’t replaced by ghost hunting wrestlers.
That was fast…guess that’s what lets us know…the longer they wait to renew…the more likely it won’t be renewed.
SyFy will probably cancel it last minute or something, or right before they shoot the final episode of the new season.
I bet it will get a 5th season, then get cancelled after that. Syfy seems afraid of the number 6.
If it’s a strong 5 seasons, I can live with that than a weak, obligatory 6th season.
What I’m curious about is if Aaron Ashmore will continue on as Jinx or if they are going to write him out. He hasn’t been formally acknowledged as a “regular” and the last time I checked IMdb.com had only listed a limited number of episodes for his character.
