Bitten is a Canadian fantasy television series based on the Women of the Otherworld series of books by author Kelley Armstrong. The name was inspired by the first book in the series.

Series overview

See main article: List of Bitten episodes. The first season's story centres on Elena Michaels (portrayed by Laura Vandervoort), a female werewolf who is torn between a normal life in Toronto with her human boyfriend, Philip, and her "family" obligations as a werewolf in upstate New York. Among her pack is her ex-fiancé Clayton, who is responsible for her becoming a werewolf.[3]

In the second season, the narrative is featured as the story centres on the aftermath of the battle, as other packs demand they hunt down the remaining rebellion, as well as the meeting of witches Paige and Ruth, who are looking to save their lost coven member, Savannah, from evil warlock Aleister.

In the third season, the story reveals Elena's true origins as members of her biological family who she did not know about come to find her. However, they have a secret too, in that they are on the run from another larger, more dangerous pack.
