TV Show: All Misfits Fans

Callisto.

After one of the greatest cliffhangers on TV ever in its Christmas special, the phenomenon that is E4’s Misfits became one of the most talked about show ever on the SFX forum. Everybody wants to know, what happens next. In an all-new interview in the new SFX special, Best Of British (in shops today), creator/writer Howard Overman reveals some tantalising titbits about series three. Here’s a little taster:

First on the agenda: that jaw-dropping series finale. “The aim was to make people feel ‘Oh my God, I’ve got to know what happens next!’ American shows like Lost are prepared to end their series’ on huge, game-changing cliffhangers, which make the audience desperate for the new series. Too often on British TV we tie things up in a neat package, because quite often you don’t know whether you’re getting another series before you finish filming, but we were lucky that Channel Four had already commissioned the third series while I was writing the second.

“They’re all going to have brand new powers. Nobody will have the same powers as in the second series,” Overman reveals.

“It’s quite daunting because they’ve had their powers for two series, and you’ve got to come up with a whole new set of powers, and we’re very much constrained with the type of powers we can do because you have to think about what works in terms of the character and story, as well as what’s achievable on our budget. We set up the idea that the powers are always linked to personality, so even now the characters’ choices are influenced and reflect the characters’ personalities, or else it just feels a bit arbitrary.”

And the jumpsuits will be back, despite the heroes’ apparently having finished their community service last series: “That’s the look of the show. They’re on community service and their jumpsuits are their de facto superhero costumes, so I will be finding a way to get them back in the jumpsuits fairly quickly.

“There’s one slightly bigger storyline towards the end of series three. I think there are two big stories in all because we’ve got eight episodes this year. One is a sort of mid-season break. It won’t become like other shows where they’re saving the world, although in one episode they kind of do save the world.”

Ugh I hate that they're getting new powers! They could've just developed on the ones they already had!

Kelly > Reading minds > Possibility: Controlling minds

Alicia> Lust touch (or whatever)>Possibility: Could've been she chooses what emotion they feel when she touches them. So she could make a whole gang of people mad at one particular person..

Curtis> Restricted Time travel>Possibility: Time travel freely

Nathan> Immortality > Possibility: Something to do with that 'seeing the dead' thing they added to him. Maybe have him be able to bring people back to life by sacrificing someone else.

Simon> Invisibility > Possibility: Make other people invisible?. Not much else to do with invisibility lol.

With the new season though, because they said their powers will relate to their personalities again, I predict Kelly will get super strength - Nathan to get speed - and the rest I don't know

Lee!!

Seeing that Future Simon time traveled to save Alicia I could take a gander he eventually gets that power or some form of it
