Now that things have settled down a bit and we’re getting back to what we call normal here at The Flickcast we can get back to our usual Friday business of bringing you previews for new TV shows. Today, as we often do, we’ve got previews of Syfy’s Eureka and Haven to share with you.

First up on a Eureka episode entitled “The Story of Oz” Carter visits Zoe and a rocket race gets, well, explosive. Just the ting you want to do in a town full of quirky geniuses, make things explode.

Next up on a Haven episode entitled “Consumed” Audrey investigates her past and a mysterious agrarian ailment. That’s the thing with pasts, sometimes they should stay buried. Unfortunately, sometimes you also have to dig them up, with tragic or unwanted results.

Things kick off tonight on Syfy at 9/8C with Eureka followed at 10/9C by Haven. Check out previews for both shows after the jump.

With Stargate Universe and Merlin having their season finales it’s time to turn our attention to two other shows airing on Syfy. One, Eureka, is a returning show coming back for another season and the second, Haven, makes its debut tonight.

In support of these two shows we will do what we usually do and bring you previews for both of them so you can get ready for tonight’s episodes. First up on Eureka, the gang is back and starting the 4th season with a twist. Also, a brand new cast member joins the show and we’re pretty excited about it. That’s right, James Callis (Battlstar Galactica‘s Baltar) comes to Eureka to shake things up this season.

Next up is Haven, which is based on The Colorado Kid from author Stephen King. It follows FBI agent Audrey Parker who arrives in the small town of Haven, Maine to solve the murder of a local ex-con. However, things are not what they seem and Audrey soon discovers the people of Haven are hiding a dark secret.

Check out previews for both shows after the break. Eureka airs tonight at 9/8C followed by Haven at 10/9C only on Syfy.

Syfy has ordered 13 episodes of the supernatural drama series Haven, based on the novella “The Colorado Kid,” from author Stephen King. The show, being produced by E1 Entertainment, will be an hour-long TV drama by the same creative group behind USA’s The Dead Zone series, including Lloyd Sagan, Shawn Piller and Scott Shepherd, who will act as showrunner on Haven.

The show focuses on the small Maine town of Haven where people with supernatural abilities have migrated for generations because it mutes their powers, allowing them to lead normal lives — at least, until recently. When FBI agent Audrey Parker is called to Haven to solve the murder of a local ex-con, she catches the killer but uncovers a much deeper mystery about this town and its inhabitants. She also begins to understand the truth about her own past and her relationship with the town.

Even though that description sounds a bit like X-Files meets Eureka, it still could be interesting and could work pretty well as a series. So far, no word on casting for the show but as this is a recent pickup by SyFy for a planned launch early next year, casting will have to begin pretty soon. We’ll keep you posted on all the Haven developments.
