Misfits - Series 3 - More Details on How Nathan Leaves
12 Apr 2011
MisfitsOk Misfits lovelies, we're three weeks away from filming, and we've got some news on series 3...
Who said less is more? An idiot, that's who - that's why there'll be eight whole episodes when the show returns this autumn.
We also know that Seth, that nasty piece of power-dealing work will be back. That means our heroes will all have a new power or two - but what they are we do not know (although, as ever, we'd love to hear your guesses).
But sadly, we say bye-bye to Robbie S this series. Yes we know what you’re thinking but fear not - here's what Executive Producer, Petra Fried, had to say:
"We are all sad to say goodbye to Robbie Sheehan – he has been brilliant as Nathan. Luckily for us, all of Nathan’s filthy lines were written by (creator and writer) Howard Overman, and there’s loads more where they came from – we call it the Overman dirt bank."
And an exit as big as Nathan's (ahem) needs to be pretty special right? Right? That’s why it’s happening right here, online, on your very own E4.com. Howard is working on an exclusive online short that you’ll be able to get ahead of series 3 – details are still pretty hush hush but we do know one thing. IT’S IN VEGAS BABY! Knowing Nathan there’ll be more tripling than doubling down and more crabs than craps…
The online short will also introduce Rudy, a character joining the remaining Asbo 4. In Petra’s words, "Rudy is another classic Overman creation." Cannot wait to meet him, then.
Howard Overman says "It’s great to be launching the third series of Misfits with an online film which introduces our new character Rudy, as well as saying goodbye to Nathan."

Can't wait to meet the new character, sad to see Nathan go in some ways but he was becoming a tad annoying. Simon and Kelly are my favs by a long way, and I'm sure that Howard Overman will introduce another great character to the mix :D
ReplyDeleteit's sad to say goodbye to Nathan :(
ReplyDeleteI will give the new season a try, maybe it is as good as before but I don't know. I doubt it a little bit... We'll see
Yeh it's sad, but I think the actor has made the right choice to leave before he is type cast.
ReplyDeleteLike I say above, Overman is a genius with characters so I have no doubts that he will introduce someone who shakes the show up a little yet will fit in perfectly.
I hope you're right xD Like I said, we'll see.
ReplyDeleteI'll try it out, hopefully it is going to be brilliant.
No way... I can't keep watching without him, HE was the show...
ReplyDeleteSounds stupid, so people who don't follow internet information will tune in to episode 1 of series 3 on tv and will have no idea why Nathan isn't there??
ReplyDeleteno Nathan no misfits :-(
ReplyDeletehaha, I love all the knee jerk reaction to his leaving XD
ReplyDeleteAt the end of the day it's better for the actor to leave now, there isn't really much room for growth for him with his character in the show except to stay as a one trick pony. Howard Overman writes characters for many other shows as well as helming this and Dirk Gently, he knows what he is doing!!! lol
I think it will prob be alluded to in the show, but tbh most people who do watch the show follow on line too. That's kinda been the point of the last two series with all the twitter accounts and interaction on E4. They only have about a million viewers after all.
ReplyDeleteim sure "rudy" will just be a poor mans nathan in the end.
ReplyDeleteI think the show will pretty much die now. Nathan is one of the strongest characters on the show, and the other one (Simon) is bound to leave in order to preserve continuity, without them two there isn't much point in watching the show for me.
ReplyDeleteI know its a sad thing to see the main person who led the show leave. but i feel if we are real Misfit fans then we will watch season 3 with or without Nathan
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely
ReplyDeleteSeriously disappointed..
ReplyDeleteRight?! Totally sucks =\
