Executives at E4 have renewed their dramedy series Misfits for a fifth season, which is set to air in late 2013. The size of the order for season five is 8 episodes.
Despite some declines in the ratings, a fifth season renewal for Misfits was considered likely. The production company had already begun staffing the writers room in anticipation of a pick up. As part of that staffing effort, they recruited Mike O’Leary – the writer behind the Misfits : Strung Out web-series as well as the Misfits companion book – to serve on the show’s writing staff for season 5.
