Ok Misfits lovelies, we're three weeks away from filming, and we've got some news on series 3...
 
Who said less is more? An idiot, that's who - that's why there'll be eight whole episodes when the show returns this autumn.
 
We also know that Seth, that nasty piece of power-dealing work will be back. That means our heroes will all have a new power or two - but what they are we do not know (although, as ever, we'd love to hear your guesses).
 
But sadly, we say bye-bye to Robbie S this series. Yes we know what you’re thinking but fear not - here's what Executive Producer, Petra Fried, had to say:
 
"We are all sad to say goodbye to Robbie Sheehan – he has been brilliant as Nathan. Luckily for us, all of Nathan’s filthy lines were written by (creator and writer) Howard Overman, and there’s loads more where they came from – we call it the Overman dirt bank."

And an exit as big as Nathan's (ahem) needs to be pretty special right? Right? That’s why it’s happening right here, online, on your very own E4.com. Howard  is working on an exclusive online short that you’ll be able to get ahead of series 3 – details are still pretty hush hush but we do know one thing. IT’S IN VEGAS BABY! Knowing Nathan there’ll be more tripling than doubling down and more crabs than craps…
 
The online short will also introduce Rudy, a character joining the remaining Asbo 4. In Petra’s words, "Rudy is another classic Overman creation." Cannot wait to meet him, then.
 
Howard Overman says "It’s great to be launching the third series of Misfits with an online film which introduces our new character Rudy, as well as saying goodbye to Nathan."
 
Rumours that this lovely looking guy is the aforementioned Rudy are being strongly, strongly denied...

    Misfits was amazing for season 1&2, which wrapped up beautifully and could easily have been a perfect ending to the series. It went downhill with the "Christmas Special"- special in the same way as getting coal in your stocking from Santa. I gave Season 3 a chance to redeem itself but no, it was even worse, and without Nathan who was the most interesting, I feel this teen drama is now ruined. First by the death of "future" Simon which made no sense, then the lack of consistency when current Simon still somehow knows about future Simon even though the whole event which caused him to find out was reversed so never happened, and then by the ridiculousness of them selling their powers when having them obviously saved their lives many times.

    I think that the series so far is good and all the characters are awesome/funny but still isn't quite the Misfits without Nathan he was my favorite character and a lot of other people's too and I would love to see him make a return.And if by some chance of that happening we haven't seen Simon and Alisha go to Las Vegas yet maybe they could meet him or find out he's locked up, just a thought but it would be the best episode ever if at the end of series 3 Nathan gets pulled back into the show or even the start of series 4.

    So glad misfits is back, been countin down the weeks until it started again. Nathan was good but there all quality they all bring diff things. Watched the first ep the other day & Rudy was amazin (hes a great actor anyways) but even if Nathan don't come back I hope the shows got a long run ahead of them cause there all fantastic & its definitely one of the best shows on tv in a long time! keep up the good work guys :)
