The E4 Blog:

You may have noticed something new in the purple navigation bar at the top of this page. Nestled between Telly and WTF, there's a link to our brand new games site, which we're rather imaginatively calling E4 Games.

We're adding a new web game review every day, seven days a week, slowly building up a massive database of the best games the web has to offer. We've already crammed in 250 classics, so there's plenty to play already. You can rate, comment on and recommend new games for us to include, so head over to E4 Games now.

We're making lots of other subtle (and not so subtle) changes to the site over the coming weeks. We're launching a new look homepage and redesigning our video player page, as well as tarting up some other areas before the end of the year. E4.com isn't even a year old yet, but we're doing these changes now to try and make it as easy to use as possible. Let us know your ideas and feedback.

Before the year is out, expect to see more original animations and games, plus some interesting news on how you can get involved in the new series of The Inbetweeners. *Lips zipped* for now.

Misfits is a new E4 drama series about a group of teens on community service, who reluctantly try to save their town after developing superhero powers. Camilla Campbell, the series' Commissioner, tells us about it.

We’re massively excited at Channel 4 Drama to be commissioning Misfits. As the department behind Skins, we really wanted to find another series which is as funny and truthful about being a teenager, but completely different from the world of Skins.

The characters in Misfits have all been given ASBOs because they have refused to conform with society in some way. Their ASBOs are the only thing they have in common – they're forced to spend time together, but don't even particularly like each other at first. Then, following a freak electrical storm where the group are struck by lightning, they slowly begin to realise that they've developed superpowers. Superpowers they didn’t choose or want – powers which reveal each of their deepest, darkest fears.

So the girl who is paranoid about what people think of her, gains the ability to hear people's thoughts. The boy who has always been overlooked by everyone – his family; the people he’s at school with – finds he can make himself invisible. They can’t control their abilities at first, so they find their powers more of a hindrance than a help. But while they just want to finish their community service and get through the challenges of everyday life – relationships, friendships, parents and sex – fate has another task in store for them. Weird things are going on in their town – it’s like life is slowly being sucked out of it – and it becomes clear that they’re the only people who can do anything about it.

We’re currently looking at directors and actors – we want the cast to be a new group of talented and fresh faces, who get the humour and emotion of the show and bring an exciting new energy to E4. If you’re a fan of Skins, then we really hope you’ll be a fan of Misfits. Watch this space…

Misfits will be filmed in summer 2009 and air later that year.
