Misfits series 4: Details and pics revealed

Misfits creator Howard Overman and producer Matt Stevens gave a webchat on the show's official site about series four on Wednesday. Here are some of the highlights.

Meet the new Misfits

With filming underway on Series 4 of E4's award-winning series Misfits, ScreenTerrier can exclusively reveal the two new young stars joining the series after the departures of Iwan Rheon and Antonia Thomas.

Lauren Socha leaves the cast of Misfits

Lauren Socha will not be appearing in the fourth series of E4's Misfits. The Bafta-winning actress, who was recently sentenced to four months in prison, suspended for 12 months, for racially abusing a taxi driver, will not reprise the role of Kelly in the drama.

Misfits star Lauren Socha sentenced for racist attack

Misfits star Lauren Socha, 21, who won a Bafta for her role as Kelly Bailey in the Channel 4 TV series, assaulted taxi driver Sakander Iqbal in Derby city centre after a nine-hour pub drinking session in the early hours of October 1.

Nathan Stewart-Jarrett: Misfits was a huge education

Discovering new sides to Curtis was thrilling, says the actor - but Misfits was also the scene of his most embarrassing moment.

Joe Gilgun: 'Series 4 will be completely outrageous'

Misfits star Joe Gilgun has insisted that the fourth series will be "disgusting and completely outrageous".

Joe Gilgun: 'Series four will have a fresh outlook'

Joe Gilgun has confirmed that he will appear in the fourth series of Misfits.

Three new characters joining Series 4 of Misfits

Details from the casting call for three new main characters for Series 4 of Misfits have been spotted online.

Fans might have worried that Misfits wouldn't be as strong without a certain Robert Sheehan, but they didn't need to be concerned. While Sheehan was unquestionably great, replacing him with Joe Gilgun as Rudy was a stroke of genius. He was funny, idiotic and loveable.

It was really silly of us to worry about the loss of Nathan anyway, as writer Howard Overman - who's either brilliant or insane (or both) - was still on board. And somehow he managed to include even more huge Misfits storylines - the gang fought Nazis, STDs and zombie cheerleaders and a certain Misfit even impregnated himself (if you haven't watched, it's way too complicated to explain). As well as all that, though, the show found time for romance, emotion, nods to loyal fans, philosophical and ethical questions and kn*b jokes. Fantastic.
