Warehouse 13
Spoilers

Warehouse 13 is officially a hit for SyFy.

As a result, viewers are lining up to find out what's in store on the remaining episodes of season one.

According to executive producers David Simkins and Jack Kenny:

"Later in the season, we meet a group called the Regents (nine average people, kind of like the Supreme Court, who make decisions about the warehouse) and see the dynamic between them and Artie and Mrs. Frederic. And we have a big surprise coming up with Leena at the very end of the season - a lot of things get turned on their heads. There are several surprises."

Artie Nielsen is the man in charge of Warehouse 13... or is he?

Call us crazy, but we don't think Warehouse 13's Leena is just a bed and breakfast inn keeper.

Artie's pal seems to possess psychic powers and/or an intimate knowledge of the warehouse's history. What, exactly, is her deal?

We'll find out soon.

According to TV Guide, actress Genelle Williams is signed for at least four more episodes - and Lenna will figure prominently in the Warehouse 13 season finale. How so?

You'll need to tune in and find out!

In the least surprising news of the summer TV season, Joanne Kelly says her and Eddie McClintock's characters may cozy up on Warehouse 13.

Considering the show clearly uses Bones and The X-Files as motivation, it's far from shocking that Myka and Pete will follow in the sexually-tense footsteps of Bones/Booth and Scully/Mulder.

"There may be a few hints," Kelly said to TVGuide.com, adding that, in the episodes to come, "there are a couple of those moments."

The actress also said that Saul Rubinek, who portrays Warehouse 13 director Artie Nielsen, is "very funny, eclectic and interesting," just like the character he plays.

While the series premiere of Warehouse 13 didn't set any ratings records for SyFy, the network has to be pleased with its showing.

The opening episode of this Fringe-meets-The-X-Files-meets-Bones drama scored 3.5 million viewers on Tuesday night. This ranks as the network's third-highest premiere of all-time, behind Stargate Atlantis and Eureka.

On next week's episode of Warehouse 13, titled "Resonance," Pete and Myka look into the case of a team of bank robbers that possess a unique, ancient weapon.

Meanwhile, Artie examines a security breach at the warehouse.

On July 7, the Sci-Fi network rebrands itself as Sy Fy.

Helping to launch the redesigned channel? Warehouse 13, a mysterious drama that Sy Fy hopes will become a Fringe-like sensation.

We're intrigued by the concept of two Secret Service Agents being pulled away from D.C. and placed in charge of a structure that houses supernatural objects in South Dakota.

Hoping to fill the science-fiction void left by Battlestar Galactica's conclusion, Warehouse 13 premieres on July 7.

In a recent conference call with reporters, producers Jack Kennedy and David Simkins spoke on various aspects of the show...

Kennedy, on combining the stars with their characters: One of the things is we brought [the stars] Saul [Rubinek], Jo [Kelly] and Eddie [McClintock] into the writers' room, all sat together, and we had a session. And we talked about the characters. We talked about them personally: What do they like? What do they do? What are their hobbies? Do any of them speak languages or play instruments? You know, what are their relationships with family members and things, so that we could mine who they were as individuals.

Because my approach has always been that every show I've ever done is a family show, whether it's a workplace comedy or an actual family show, and so in building this family of this brother, sister and father team that we've got going, we wanted to sort of bring who they were to the roles.

Simkins, on inspirations for the show: I wouldn't say so much inspiration as opposed to just touching upon cultural and dramatic touchstones. Jack and I, in going back and sitting with the characters, and with the characters in the writers' room, we talk a lot about the Thin Man series, Myrna Loy, William Powell, Cary Grant, Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy.

Simkins, on the series mythology: I don't want the idea of this 13th warehouse to feel like I'm going to need a history book to enjoy the show. These are colors that we're layering in onto the series just to give it a sense of reality and a sense of depth should someone go looking for that depth.

But, for the most part, you can come to it—I hope you don't—but you can come to it in episode three or four or seven and still really have a great ride. You won't have missed much, if anything. There's a couple of B plot runners that we're running through the series, but for the most part, when you tune in, and there's Pete and Myka and they're going off on a mission, you'll get it. It's pretty accessible.

As one of the summer's most anticipated new shows, Warehouse 13 premieres on July 7.

The Sci-Fi network is using this X-Files-like drama to anchor its brand switch, as the channel premieres a new name on that same date: Sy Fy.

We have no idea if the re-branding will be a success, but the show looks promising.

It stars Eddie McClintock, Joanne Kelly and Saul Rubinek in the three main roles; as the first two actors portray Secret Service Agents assigned to Warehouse 13, a mysterious storage facility in South Dakota. Rubinek's character is in charge of it.

On July 7, the Sci-Fi Channel is rebranding itself as the Sy Fy Channel. It's a significant change, we know.

The network hopes that its new science fiction series - a combination of The X-Files and Fringe - serves as an anchor for this new persona, as Warehouse 13 airs its two-hour pilot on the same date.

The show focuses on a pair of Secret Service agents that receive a new assignment: protection of a warehouse in South Dakota. It houses supernatural objects, as the two agents must also investigate reports of new, eerie developments.

Just how much stock is Sy Fy putting into this drama? The network has lined up a slew of former Battlestar Galactica actors to guest star on it:

• Tricia Helfer will play a Chicago-based FBI agent.
• Michael  Hogan has been cast as the father of one of the main characters, Myka (Joanne Kelly).
• Mark Sheppard will appear as an individual who represents the organization that controls the Warehouse.

Tricia Helfer and Michael Hogan will guest star on early episodes of Warehouse 13.
