Being Human has been commissioned to do a 4th season! Wayhey! However, it seems like there will be no Mitchell (the vampire) at all. :( I haven't seen the last few episodes of season 3. This may be due to the fact that Aidan Turner, the actor who plays Mitchell, is now in New Zealand, filming The Hobbit (Yes, he's one of the dwarves. He's playing Kili.). So, he will be gone for, at least, 2 years. That's probably why they have set it up, so that at the end of season 3, Mitchell is supposed to be killed. Anyway, catching up on season 3 right now, thanks to YouTube.
By the way, there's an American version of Being Human on the SyFy Channel. Ridiculous how they don't just bring over the original UK version and show it here in the States. Have they not learned from what happened to the US versions of Coupling, Life on Mars, Teachers, The IT Crowd, to name a few? And now, MTV has produced a US version of Skins, too. I think, the only successful show that was ever brought over from the UK to the US was The Office, and I attribute it to the fact that Ricky Gervais (star of the original UK series) remained as Executive Producer of the US version, along with his buddy, Stephen Merchant. Anyway, I haven't seen the US version of Being Human, and I don't really think I want to. I saw the promos, and it's not the same. They're never the same, unfortunately.

its not the same, the us version is different in a good way. Give a few episodes a try. They are both good in their own way. I was impressed how well made and thought out Being Human US is, and how it honored Being Human UK. Yeah, there were a bunch a flops, but also a bunch of successes. Three's Company is a great example of success! :)
(and I liked the US version of Life on Mars, it just didn't find an audience.)
