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...

    Also for a guess 'who has what powers?' I think I can predict Simon's. He obviously has some sort of time travel/teleportation but it wont be Curtis's old powers as he can only go back as himself without a 'future Curtis'.. I think. Secondly he will have some type of self-healing/immortality. When 'future Simon' dies he doesn't seem to bothered, whether that's for love or a power but he also gets injured when he saves Nathan from the exploding car with no ill affects afterwards. Damn you Howard, why be such a brilliant writer?

    It's a great sadness that Robert Sheehan has decided to leave MisFits but I have no doubt at all that Howard Overman and the rest of the production team can make series three the best yet; even without Nathan! Being a keen MisFits fan I believe that one of the best aspects of this programme is that the characters do change dramatically bringing new story lines and a lot of excitement to us, the viewers. We have plenty left to still be curious about from Series 2 - Simon and Aleshia's relationship, the Death of Curtis's Girlfriend and how will Kelly cope without Nathan in her life? Its obvious she adores him. So look forward to series three and the craziness Howard is going to bring us.

    I have too agree with jilbo on this one, im very dissappointed too hear nathan is going, i think this is a bad move and the series will loose alot of popularity because of it. I now am not looking forward too series 3 if i even watch it at all now. All i can say too the team off misfits (KEEP NATHAN IN) everyone i know only watches it for nathan, really really bad move.

    misfits without nathan is a bad move, i think you'll loose popularity once hes gone, he was the best character by far. im abit dissappointed to hear this news and im not looking forward too series 3 as much, if i even watch it at all now.
