Review: Misfits - Vegas Baby!

As most of you will know, Misfits star Robert Sheehan decided to quit the show last series, so rather than recast his character (by giving Nathan the ability to change his appearance, perhaps?), or waiting until series 3 to explain Nathan's absence as an event that happened between episodes, writer Howard Overman managed to put together an eight-minute webisode to explain Nathan's departure...

'Misfits': Q&A with Robert Sheehan

Hurrah, it's finally BAFTA day! Yes, the Philips British Academy Television Awards are being held tonight, and one of the nominees crossing their fingers will be Robert Sheehan, who's been recognised for his role in Misfits. When Robert announced that he'd decided to leave the show earlier this year there was a little bit of an uproar, so we gave him a ring to chat about the BAFTAs and why he decided to hang up his community service jumpsuit for good...

Catriona Wightman, Digital Spy, 22nd May 2011

The first series scooped a Bafta and this second, saucier, frequently hair-raising series - shown on E4 last autumn - deserves to do the same. The Misfits are potty-mouthed but oddly lovable young offenders cursed with superpowers after a freak storm. In this opening episode, the smart-aleck of the group, Nathan (played by Robert Sheehan, who's announced he won't be returning for a third series, to the dismay of many female fans), is buried alive. Even his impudent quips can't get him out of this hole. Geeky Simon also has a problem: a creepy ex-girlfriend from his stint in a psychiatric hospital. Oh yes, and there's the matter of the probation officer he bumped off, leering up at him from the freezer.

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?

Viva Las Vegas! Viva 'Misfits'!

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.

Robert Sheehan leaves 'Misfits'

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.
