We can still remember the first time we watched Misfits, and wondered what on earth that Irish lad with the afro was doing among the bunch? Little did we know back then, that the show would become a huge success, and send a certain Robert Sheehan on the fast track to UK success.
Now, just over three years since the series first hit our screens in November 2009, the newest generation have started filming the show's fifth and final series for E4. Set exactly a year after the freak storm that gave the teens superpowers first hit, Series 5 will feature eight 60-minute episodes, and mark the end of Howard Overman's rather exciting creation.
"Misfits took the superhero genre and spun it on its head in an utterly unique and ambitious way. It was big, clever, funny and deliriously entertaining!", said Channel 4 Drama's Commissioning Editor Roberto Troni. "E4 couldn't be more proud of what the show has achieved. It has won countless awards, has launched the careers of directors and actors, and has played a vital part in E4's continuing success. Howard and co have some BIG plans for the last series and like the characters in the show, it won't be going quietly. Strap in and enjoy one final glorious ride!"
Well, here's hoping.
