The final EVER Misfits

Brand new series

Episode one- The award-winning drama Misfits returns for the fifth and final time. The series marks the first anniversary of the storm, and the gang have to up their game if they're going to tackle some real-life, A-grade, superpowered vigilantes. In the opening episode, handsome barman Alex (Matt Stokoe) discovers that he has acquired a strange new superpower that he has to use on one of the gang. The ensuing chaos sees Alex doing community service and finally joining the rest of the guys in orange.

Meanwhile, Rudy's (Joseph Gilgun) downbeat alter ego joins a mysterious new support group deep in the heart of the estate. At this safe haven for people struggling with their superpowers, Rudy meets a man trapped in a turtle's body, an old lady who knits jumpers that reveal the future, and someone familiar... the terrifying Tim (Matt Cross), who believes he is living in a Grand Theft Auto-style computer game.

Episode two- While the gang are out on the estate picking up litter, Rudy discovers that his Dad is having an affair. With Jess’s help, Rudy investigates further and soon discovers his father has a super power of his own, a dark secret he has kept hidden from his family.

As Rudy and Jess find themselves thrown together, Rudy is shocked to discover he has feelings for Jess. Meanwhile Rudy Two meets a mysterious boy with the power to fly at his super power support group, and starts to believe that the jumper Maggie knitted him really does hold the secrets to the gang’s future…
