These names may mean nothing to you, but Murray Ferguson, Cate Crowe and Petra Fried are the producers Misfits. They were at the Television Festival of Monte Carlo to talk about the third season of Misfits.
What can you tell us about the third season of Misfits?
Murray Ferguson: I do not want to say too much, we want to maintain the suspense of the last episode of the second season. But our heroes will have new powers and what they will do will be crucial for the future of the series. Some of these powers will always be related to the personality of the characters (as was the case until now), but not for everyone.
As you know, Robert Sheehan, who plays Nathan will not be in any upcoming TV episodes. So we worked with Rudy, the new character in the series. He will be very funny and obviously will join the group.
Petra Fried: We focus a lot on the new character. After the departure of Robert, we turned the page quickly. Rudy's character is very interesting and he fits very well with the group. But throughout the second season we've also learned a lot about Simon. You've followed his progress so far, yet it will still be different in future episodes.
In the first season of Misfits, we discover the powers of the characters. The second focuses on Simon and the mysterious Superhoodie. Will Season 3 have a theme?
Cate Crowe: Yes, there are many storylines, but will not tell you which ones.
Ah, but I want a scoop!
Petra Fried: I'll tell you one! I think what you like about Misfits is a surprise! For now, we try to keep some surprises and suspense that we created at the end of the second season but I can tell you is that ... In Season 3, the characters will have to fight against the Nazis!
The relationship between Simon and Alisha will continue in season 3?
Cate Crowe: Yes, they are in a lasting relationship. They are very happy and in love, but there is a difficult future and a complicated past, so it will not be simple.
I heard webisode happen in Las Vegas. Can you tell us more? What impact will it have on season 3?
Cate Crowe: The webisode explains why and how the character of Robert Sheehan (Nathan) left the series. So Nathan goes to Las Vegas and never returns, but you will understand why.
In the second season, the Simon's future brings with him a photo of Simon and Alisha in Las Vegas. All characters will they be present in this episode?
Petra Fried: Yes, they all go on holiday in Las Vegas. Nathan will also be with his new girlfriend and baby.
Murray Ferguson: The webisode will be six minutes long and was shot in a casino in Reading.

Boo to Nathan leaving in a six (!) minute webisode, yay for a lasting relationship for Simon and Alisha. Still not sold on the new person or Misfits without Robert Sheehan, but I'm willing to give it a try after last year's epic season.
ReplyDelete6 minutes? Seriously?! The best character from the whole series and you're gonna just kick him off the show in 6 minutes? God, this new season is really gonna suck...
ReplyDeleteI'm really looking forward to the new guy, his character sounds much better than Nathan's so far, and the actor is brilliant in This is England and other shows I've seen him in :D

Nathan was the best character in the whole show... this season is going to suck.
ReplyDeleteFrankly, to all those disgruntled 'fans', Robert Sheehan is the one who wanted out and basically forced the writer/s to figure out a way to get him out as quickly as possible. And as much as people love Nathan, he's not the end all and be all of the show. He's a crucial part, but the talent on and behind the show is what makes it good. If they can continue to bring the quality, then I'll keep watching.
ReplyDeleteSo whats going happen to Curtis and Nikki...what about them don't they matter
ReplyDeletenikki's dead...
ReplyDeleteNathan was a great character but i love all the other characters too so i hope this new guy has some classic awkward moments too. I dont think its fair to the rest of cast to say that 3 is gonna suck because Nathan left. Infact the scene that made me laugh the most was when Kelly got on the gorilla's back as he climbed the building, i laughed so hard! I think the quality of the show will stay in the hands of the producers and be carried out by the director. i have faith!
ReplyDeleteAnyways, my cousin told me about this show like a month ago and i am totally addicted! i live in the states so i haven't heard about it until now. i cant wait to start season 3. bravo! I also hope that Nathan makes appearances at least as an update on his character.
