Lost Girl is a Canadian developed and produced television series which premiered in the 2010 season on the television channel Showcase. There were rumors that the series might be carried by the CW network in the United States, though that deal did not materialize. However in early 2011 the Syfy channel did pickup the series instead, planning to run all seasons of the show on its channel. 

The story revolves around a Succubus named Bo, played by Anna Silk. She attempts to contain her succubus needs, help those in need, and discover her true past. 

The series is developed and produced by Prodigy Pictures. The executive producers are Jay Firestone, Paul Rapovksi, Plato Fountidakis, Michelle Lovretta and Peter Mohan. Michelle Lovretta is also the Creator/Writer for the series and the series is also co-written by Peter Mohan. The series producer is Wanda Chaffey. 

On July 10th, 2010, a note in a Toronto Star article indicated that the first episode would premiere in Canada on the Showcase television network September 12, 2010.[1] Additionally on August 9th, the website Channel Canada.com confirmed that the series would be shown at 9 PM Eastern.[2] 

At the beginning of August 2010, a website for the series at http://lostgirlseries.com/ was opened to the public. It contained a short trailer for the series and a summary of information on the series and the characters. On August 20th, an interactive comic book was also to be available that would be serving as a lead-in to the series and characters for viewers. It also was expected to have a forum for viewers to interact with the cast and crew.

On November 12th, 2010, the Showcase Blog announced that Lost Girl would be renewed for a second season. It also noted that the series was drawing over 700,000 viewers weekly, making it the number one scripted drama series across all Canadian specialty channels at that time. 

On March 8th, 2011 Anna Silk announced on her Twitter feed that Season 2 shooting was to begin in May of that year. 

On May 18th, 2011 it was announced by the American cable channel Syfy that they would be acquiring the rights to show the Lost Girl series in its entirety on their channel during the 2011-2012 television season.
