Can Misfits survive without Nathan?
Robert Sheehan is to leave the E4 superhero drama. So will the show be damaged by losing its 'fittest' star, or could it emerge healthier than ever, like Doctor Who?

Following the weekend's shock announcement that Robert Sheehan won't be part of Misfits' third series, some details on the "online film" has come to light. The webisode will apparently involve the gang going on a trip to Las Vegas, where the new character Rudy is introduced as Nathan's departure is explained.

Hugely disappointing news has arrived from the Kapow convention, taking place in London this weekend. Robert Sheehan, who plays Nathan Young in E4's BAFTA-winning superhero drama Misfits, will not be returning for the third series. His position on the show will be taken by a new character called Rudi, and the replacement dealt with in a webseries just prior to Misfits' return.

Sam Haysom, Suite 101, 18th February 2011Misfits wins two Broadcast Awards
E4 comedy drama Misfits picked up two awards at last night's Broadcast Awards.
British Comedy Guide, 3rd February 2011The first series won the 2009 Bafta for best drama and, happily, the quality didn't subside during this year's follow-up. Thanks to its premise - some young Asbo types find themselves lumbered with special powers - Misfits is often described as 'Skins meets Heroes', although it's comfortably better than both. Funny, sexy, thrilling and often incredibly violent, it's worth clearing a day to acquaint yourself with this show. And if you're already acquainted, it's worth clearing a day to watch it all over again. Superb.
Stuart Heritage, The Guardian, 24th December 2010Misfits Christmas Special review
After Thursday night's slightly disappointing series finale, this was a great episode with plenty of tension, gore and funny lines, with a terrific final twist that'll keep us guessing until series three comes along late next year.
