One of the lingering questions after the conclusion of Syfy’s Warehouse 13 season two last summer was whether the character of H.G. Wells (Jaime Murray) would return in season three that premieres July 11. The first sneak peek trailer for the upcoming new season does include a quick glimpse at Wells, but we may be seeing a lot more of the character in the near future.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Warehouse 13 showrunner Jack Kenny is currently penning a spinoff series that would revolved around the H.G. Wells character when she lived back in the 1890s. She would turn down offers from Warehouse 12 to join their team, and instead work as a freelance crime solver and solve the seemingly unsolvable cases with the aid of the police commissioner and a mechanical engineer friend.
Her skills, styles and knowledge of contemporary science will be used as the framework for the stories of H.G. Wells that will be written by her brother. Whether her brother plays a role in the series is currently unknown.
The biggest question mark is not whether Syfy will latch onto this idea and move to pilot, which they certainly would given Warehouse 13 is their number one show in averaging 3.4 million viewers per episode. Will Jaime Murray continue playing H.G. Wells in a full-time capacity or would a new actress be hired? Would you watch if Jaime were replaced?
