Production

On October 7, 2010, Syfy announced that Haven would begin production on a thirteen-episode second season to begin airing July 15, 2011.[15] On March 22, 2011, SyFy announced that they would air a Christmas special of Haven during season two.[16]

Jason Priestley directed the ninth episode and guest starred in a four-episode arc as Chris Brody, a handsome but anti-social marine biologist who is forced to deal with an affliction most would consider a blessing.[17][18] Vinessa Antoine had a recurring role as Evidence "Evi" Ryan, a former con-artist and Duke's estranged wife.[19]

Syfy premiered the season premiere at San Diego Comic Con during the network's screening panel two months prior to its premiere date.

Adam "Edge" Copeland guest starred as Dwight Hendrickson, a shrewd longtime Haven resident and a former Army Ranger felled by a supernatural affliction in Afghanistan who puts his tactical skills to use in Haven as the mysterious "Cleaner." Originally going to be a guest, Copeland was instead promoted to recurring after his role was expanded to four episodes.[20][21] Cristián de la Fuente also guest starred as Cornell, a straight-laced, conservative, mild-mannered banker who is hiding a dark and shocking double life.[22]

Season 2 also included the stand-alone Christmas episode "Silent Night" which was later included in the DVD/Blu-ray release as a bonus feature. However, that release omitted the Teagues' narration.
