The mighty Misfits is heading to America, as the team behind Gossip Girl and Chuck begin work on a US remake...
For the past couple of years, Misfits has clearly demonstrated that you don’t need a massive budget to make a compelling genre television show. Much of this is down to the genius of show creator Howard Overman and his team, and the third season of Misfits looks set to keep the standard high.
