Meet the New Misfits (from ScreenTerrier)

With filming underway on Series 4 of E4’s award-winning series Misfits, Screenterrier can exclusively reveal the two new young stars joining the series after the departures of Iwan Rheon and Antonia Thomas.

23 year old Karla Crome (represented by Troika) stars as Jess, described as 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.

Karla is a graduate of Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts and is also a talented writer, with her play If Chloe Can recently produced by the National Youth Theatre. She is about to be seen playing Riley in Sky1’s new drama series Hit and Miss.

Nathan McMullen from Liverpool (represented by Shepherd Management) joins the cast as Finn, who has a childlike naively optimistic view of life, he’s always eager to please and enthusiastic about life and is very funny.

Nathan graduated from the Manchester School of Theatre at the Manchester Metropolitan University in 2009, and has since appeared in Casualty and Shameless.

Both original cast member Nathan Stewart-Jarrett who plays Curtis and Series 3’s Rudy played by Joe Gilgun are returning for Series 4.

No news as yet on the replacement for Lauren Socha, who has been written out in the wake of her conviction for racial-aggravated assault.

Series 4 of Misfits is being directed by Nirpal Bhogal (Sket) and will return to E4 in late 2012.

So… what happened to Alex “the best looking guy on the estate”? That character description was given at the same time as these two. Is he out of the picture now? I would rather have another girl anyway…

I’ll wait to see what these two are like. I’ve never heard of either of them before so it’s not possible for me to judge what they’ll bring.
