Misfits picked up for an American remake

Following on their pickup of Marvel’s superhero teen romance Cloak and Dagger, American network Freeform are looking to double down on superpowered TV with an American remake of British series Misfits.

It’s too early for any casting news but it was confirmed that the titular miscreants will be getting their superpowers from a mysterious chemical rather than the freak storm of the UK series.

The original Misfits ran for four seasons and starred Robert Sheehan, Iwan Rheon, Antonia Thomas, Lauren Socha and Nathan Stewart-Jarrett.

Stayed tuned for further news.
