Iwan Rheon has suggested that he would be an "idiot" if he turned down the chance to appear in a Misfits movie.
Howard Overman - the creator of the hit E4 series - revealed last year that Rheon's character Simon and Antonia Thomas's Alisha could return in a big screen adaptation of the show.

You can watch season 4 of the hit Brit series, Misfits, on Hulu right now, if you haven't been keeping up, and catch up before season 5, which the UK's Channel 4 just announced will debut in the fall of this year on E4. However, one key piece of news included in today's announcement is that the 5th season will be the Final season for the series, which means, after season 5, no more Misfits. Although that shouldn't be a big surprise, especially as it was revealed earlier this year that viewership dropped a bit from season 3 to season 4. And based on some of your past comments, a number of you stopped watching the series after certain characters left. Here's the announcement from Channel 4: Misfits creator Howard Overman, Clerkenwell Films and E4 today announced that Rudy (Joseph Gilgun), Jess (Karla Crome), Finn (Nathan McMullen), Alex (Matt Stokoe) and Abby (Natasha O »

Filming is about to start on the 5th and final series of E4's award-winning series Misfits.
The cast of series 4, Rudy (Joseph Gilgun), Jess (Karla Crome), Finn (Nathan McMullen), Alex (Matt Stokoe) and Abby (Natasha O’Keeffe) are all returning for a final stint of community service.
The new series marks the first anniversary of the storm and a support group forms on the estate for those people who find having a super power isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Like… the ability to knit visions of the future, or to shag unwanted powers out of other people (you read that right) or to transform into a turtle. And as Dark Rudy likes to talk-slash-moan, it should come as no surprise that he is the first of our gang to start attending. And it’s here that he sees a very different future facing the team »

E4 has confirmed that Misfits will end after the soon-to-be-filmed series five, which is due on air in autumn 2013...
After five series, the launch of numerous careers in front of and behind the camera, and an identity so strong we'll still be talking about it long after DVD box-sets have been replaced by cerebro-retinal implants, E4's Misfits deserves a Viking funeral more than it does talk of having been "axed". Leaving that legacy behind is no mean feat, so it's with a sad, respectful salute that we report the show is due to end after the soon-to-be-filmed fifth series.
Eight new episodes of the final series will be on air this autumn, starring the renewed cast of Joseph Gilgun, Karla Crome, Nathan McMullen, Matt Stokoe and Natasha O'Keeffe. According to E4 commissioning editor Roberto Troni, "Howard and co have some Big plans for the last series, »

Misfits has started filming its fifth and final series on E4.
Howard Overman's teen drama, about a group of young offenders who obtain supernatural powers, will air for the last time later this year. The fifth series will feature eight 60-minute episodes.
The characters Rudy (Joseph Gilgun), Jess (Karla Crome), Finn (Nathan McMullen), Alex (Matt Stokoe) and Abby (Natasha O'Keeffe) will all be involved in the show's last run. The new series will mark the first anniversary of the storm that gave the group powers.
Murray Ferguson, chief executive of Clerkenwell Films, said: "Misfits was a bold and confident commission that backed original ideas and new talent, quickly becoming a hit with its audience on E4 and around the world.
"It's been great to produce a show that has been able to innovate on screen and online, and that broke new ground premiering with huge success on Hulu in America. »

BBC America co-production Ripper Street has been ordered for eight more episodes, with the second season set to premiere in 2014. The gripping series is one of the best new offerings on American television and especially juicy is actor Joseph Gilgun who is featured this coming episode as a charismatic evil child gang leader named Carmichael. The lead actors Matthew Macfadyen, Jerome Flynn and Adam Rothenberg are exemplary in scene and click from frame one, as writer Richard Warlow has created an extraordinary series set in the East End of London in 1889. The mood of the series is dark, ominous after the aftermath of the "Ripper" murders. The new episodes will premiere this Saturdays at 9:00pm »

Having played upon the question of whether Jack the Ripper had returned to Whitechapel, in the first episode ‘I Need Light’, the second episode surely had to introduce a different characteristic of Victorian London, Ripper Street obliged. Stepping away from the depravity of paraphilia and pornography the second episode, ‘In My Protection’ seemingly drew from the characters from Charles Dickens’ novel Oliver Twist; the vicious, barbarianism and sociopathic tendencies of Bill Sikes mixed with the grotesque and creepy, child puppeteer who is Fagin, to create a sinister antagonist to Di Reid (Matthew Macfadyen), DS Drake (Jerome Flynn) and Captain Jackson (Adam Rothenberg).
The episode opened with a toymaker, sixty year old Ernest Manby (David Coon), being brutally beaten to death, with a belt buckle it is later deciphered. It is this case that centres the story. This week, rather than focusing on solving the mystic puzzle of who is the murderer, »

When Series 3 of the British science fiction comedy drama Misfits came to an end this time last year, it was difficult to imagine what could happen next and which characters would even return if the series were to continue. With the revelation that most of the cast would not be reprising their roles in this new series, and that the series would instead be led by original member Curtis (Nathan Stewart-Jarrett), recent additions Rudy (Joseph Gilgun) and Seth (Matthew McNulty), and new characters Jess (Karla Crome) and Finn (Nathan McMullen), it could either pick up quite suitably, or, more than likely, could go completely downhill. Fortunately, whilst the series will never be as good without its original cast members together, it worked out quite well.

Review Jamie-Lee Nardone Jan 7, 2013
This week's Ripper Street plays out like a post-watershed Oliver Twist. Here's Jamie-Lee's review...
This review contains spoilers.
1.2 In My Protection
Imagine your worst nightmare: a plague of zombies, an infestation of giant spiders under the bed, or a massive scratch on your limited edition The Dark Knight Rises Blu-ray ... Now try and fathom something far more evil and you will have a vague idea of the level of depravity that the second episode of Ripper Street approaches. That’s right. Last week, it was Victorian snuff movies. This week, it’s Children Who Kill. And how. Think Oliver Twist, if Tarantino had been around offering advice to Dickens during a session in the local ale house, after devouring a year’s worth of penny dreadfuls.
The episode starts with the killing of a toymaker. A fourteen year old boy carrying the dead man’s possessions »

Feature Louisa Mellor Jan 7, 2013
The BBC’s Ripper Street marks a growing trend in TV period crime drama, which has turned from nice to nasty…
Contains mild spoilers for episodes one and two of Ripper Street
Time was when period detective drama meant spending fifty minutes or so in the company of a shrewd Oap solving aristocratic murders in picturesque country houses by drinking Earl Grey from china cups and gently probing the scullery maid. It was sanitised, sexless, and more doilies than Deadwood.
Of late however, period crime TV has evolved into something nastier. Twinsets, dastardly heirs and moustachioed Belgians are out, muckiness, dismemberment and gratuitous nudity are in. Looking ahead to new commissions from ITV and the BBC, the trend set to give Scandi-noir a run for its cosily attired money is for knobbing-and-knifing period crime drama. Forget Call The Midwife, we're talking Kill The Midwife, and leave »
