Misfits is E4’s latest teenage comedy drama to thunder onto our screens and is available to own on DVD from Monday 28th December, courtesy of 4DVD.
The show features a hot young cast of emerging acting talent – Robert Sheehan (Red Riding), Iwan Rheon (Spring Awakening), Lauren Socha (The Unloved) Nathan Stewart-Jarrett (The History Boys) and newcomer Antonia Thomas.
Misfits kicks off with five teenagers who are thrown together as they work on a ‘Community Payback’ scheme at a local community centre, where they spend their days scrubbing off graffiti and picking up litter. When the 18 year olds get caught in a freak storm they miraculously develop strange superpowers which change their lives forever.
Party-girl Alisha (Antonia Thomas) can send people into a sexual frenzy with just one touch, lovable chav Kelly (Lauren Socha) can hear peoples’ thoughts, while one-time sporting hero Curtis (Nathan Stewart-Jarrett) discovers he has the power to turn back time. Simon (Iwan Rheon), the clever but shy one, discovers he can turn invisible – which is what he has always felt.
Smart-alec and Irish charmer Nathan (Robert Sheehan) is furious to discover that he is the only one of the gang apparently unaffected by the storm. The biggest mystery about him remains how he got his community service order in the first place – all anyone knows is there was a mysterious incident involving some pick-n-mix…
Bound by a deadly secret, the rest of the gang try to get their heads round their new abilities, while Nathan is left trying to find out what his power might be.
Over six episodes, the Misfits reluctantly step up to the plate to save each other and the rest of their community from the very thing they’ve all been mistaken for – the bad guys. But our gang don’t swap their Reebok classics and ankle tags for capes and tights. Instead, they discover just how tough life can be when you’re all that stands between good and evil. Well, that and your curfew…
This DVD features over an hour of extra material including behind the scenes videos with cast & crew, the making of Misfits and ‘Simon’s films’ – 4 videos Simon took on his phone of the other group members.
Made by Clerkenwell Films (Afterlife, ITV’s Persuasion) for E4, Misfits is the first major commission for writer/creator Howard Overman (Merlin, Hustle). Misfits is executive produced by Murray Ferguson and Petra Fried and produced by Kate Crowe. Upcoming directors Tom Green and Tom Harper take the helm, the former in his television directorial debut, the latter hot off The Scouting Book for Boys and Cubs.
Misfits is available to own on Monday 28th December courtesy of 4DVD.

Sorry no favourite character as I was gutted that I missed this series it looked excellent! I hope to catch it on DVD!
I actually missed all the episodes and kept menaing to watch on catch-up so would really love to win so I could watch it altogether.
you can catch up online cassie & onions, and i recommend you do cos it’s an excellent series! about time something decent was on tv, a nice showcase of homegrown talent.
i found it to be clever writing, roller-coaster like funny and serious, and an mix of ‘heroes’ and ‘inbetweeners’, two of my other must-sees.
hard to choose a favourite character (all good, nice blend of them) but i’d have to say curtis cos he has this hard outside but is actually quite sweet and soft
favourite Kelly, great for family viewing
Kelly is my favourite, I would love the whole series to watch again and again
Strange, funny but clever.
never watched it
I love Nathan & his accent!
I have never seen this, but it sounds good
Simon – hate the way the others ignore him even though he’s the cleverest one, hope his powers help him.
I haven’t seen it but it sounds strange from what I’ve read here.
Alisha is my favourite.
I enjoyed the whole series though, quite quirky and good characters.
ummm, haven’t seen it…
merry xmas
dawn
I love Nathan!!!
I want to have superpowers.
Funny and at least a little bit different to everything else. A hint of Smallville with the storm but with a sense of humour.
Kelly is my favourite
Not watched it but need to as it looks ace
Kelly is the such an over the top chav, she’s great.
Brilliant series – a cross between Skins & Heroes!
I love the Chavvy Kelly character. I wonder what the actress Lauren Socha is like in real life?
Favourite Kelly, great for family viewing
sorry, never watched it :(
Even though he is very weird and shy, I love Simon- he needs a loving girl to bring him out of himself!!! ………. :) He’s quite sweet when he smiles.
NATHAN- he makes me laugh and love his accent
Has to be simon, poor lad, he does try but never gets it right!
Kelly is my favourite.
Escapism at its best, and I like Kelly.
My favourite was Simon because I’d seen Iwan Rheon in Spring Awakening a few times so seeing him go from a little known theatre actor to a big TV star is amazing! And in such a good show too, bonus!
My fave character is Simon, great series!
I missed it but wanted to see it as i seen the adverts for it and it looked really good.

I love Kelly. Brilliant show!
Alisha – because she has the power to put people in a sexual frenzy
Am a Misfit! Seriously. Sometimes I have no idea what youa re all talking about!
Nathan is brilliant, so funny
Kelly’s my fave – wonderful – so funny

Love Kelly, funny and orginal, missed a few episodes in the beginging
Nathan is my favourite! A decent show at last!
I loved Nathan, only saw the last four episodes, but thought it was fab, particularly the ending and Nathan finally finding out his special power (won’t ruin it for those who haven’t seen it)!!
Also, Kelly portrays a fabulous Chav – great viewing!
Defo Kelly — yeah to misfits!

Series was OK – bit over-rated IMO. Creators/writers obviously big fans of Joss Whedon’s series. Several situations borrowed – some dialogue blatantly stolen!

Nathan – Gawjus
I only caught the last couple of episodes, but I did like Simon – couldn’t help but feel a bit sorry for him!
