Late last year, Misfits regulars Anthonia Thomas & Iwan Rheon announced that they would not be returning for the shows fourth series. As many may have expected, a casting call has recently gone out for three new actors to don the iconic orange jumpsuit – and the new characters seem to be quite different to Simon & Alisha!
The semi-open casting call on Angel Stages contains the following information:
Experience Required: Acting
Gender Required: Any
The BAFTA award winning comedy drama is back! We are seeking actors aged 18-25 to submit for casting briefs for new regulars! All actors must have excellent comedy skills. Any ethnicity, any accents.
Jess – Female:
Jess is a kind of female version of Larry David – smart and articulate, She’s the person who will say the un-sayable, the person who’ll question social norms and etiquette.
Jess hates people who bullshit and lie to her.
Finn – Male:
Finn has a childlike naively optimistic view of life, he’s always eager to please and enthusiastic about life.
Finn talks a lot and often uses this to try and talk himself out of difficult or awkward situations. He is very funny.
Alex – Male:
Alex is the sexiest guy on the estate. He is super good looking, all the girls fancy him but for some reason he is very standoffish, he doesn’t seem interested in girls..Everyone reads this as being extremely suspicious and suspect it’s power related.
Unfortunately, the deadline for auditions is tomorrow. So, any aspiring Thespians among you have already missed your opportunity. Hypable would also like to remind all of its users to always read the fine print when choosing to sign up with casting sites like the one above. While the legitimacy of the post hasn’t yet been verified, broadcaster E4 have been known to be enthusiastic about open auditions in the past. For example, the cast of Skins are chosen purely from open auditions.
What do you think of the new characters, from these scraps of information? Are you excited for some fresh blood, or will you miss Nathan, Simon and Alisha too much?

I hope this works out. Being Human's major cast changes worked out wonderfully, so I'm hoping for the same with Misfits.
