Signs are emerging that the BAFTA-award winning and surprise hit of last year, Misfits, has already been commissioned for a third series as well as being remade for US television. But its creator doesn?t want a film version.

Although there is yet to be any official announcements, the news slipped out during a question-and-answer session between Jonathan Ross and Howard Overman. The event session ? which was attended by the media and fans of the show ? was being hosted in London to launch series 2 of the Channel 4 drama.

TV.com reports that, during the interview, Ross said, ?There are more episodes coming next year . . . aren?t there??

Slightly taken aback, Overman, the show?s creator, replied, ?I was told not to mention that.?

Ross also asked about a possible US version of Misfits, but, again, Overman was hesitant in his reply. He said:

Again, I?m not sure I?m supposed to talk about that.

There?s been a lot of interest in it and talk about maybe doing an American version, but you just have to make sure it?s done in the right way.

Later in the interview, Overman talked about a possible movie version of the show. However, seemingly pouring cold water on one seeing the light of day, he said: ?We?ve had some offers, but we decided that we?ve told that story already. Why charge people for a rehashed version of what they?ve already seen??

Misfits Series 2 is on air now and so this is quite a scary time in my life. Series 3 has been commissioned and we?re all kind of in the process of deciding what to do and whether we should come back. None of us have yet come to a decision. It?s quite difficult so early on to make a decision for next year and to know what you?re doing. It?s stressful but also a lovely position to be in. Everyone is excited about Series Two and we hope, and think it?s better. Howard Overman, the writer, has excelled himself. The storylines are fantastic and the producers have said it?s looking great. The first series won a BAFTA for Best Drama Series and we totally didn?t expect it. We got nominated along with Spooks, The Street and Being Human. They are all, like, great drama series. We went along feeling really lucky to have been invited and then we won! We were gobsmacked. We thought that The Street had been tipped to win. The team that work on Misfits are fantastic. So it?s difficult to know whether to leave it at two or go on to three.

    • Microsoft Teams is getting a controversial location tracking feature that users may hate

      By Circaflex · Posted

      I noticed this was already happening within my organization; my teams location will change between remote and on-site without me having to do anything. Is it possible this is live already for select customers?

      I wonder what it will show when I'm plugged in with my ethernet cable at home and not using WiFi.
    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By TsarNikky · Posted

      While LibreOffice is not pleased to see a new competitor, they are absolutely correct in stating that Euro-Office using a MS file standard as a default is not being truly "European." Using a MS standard just means Euro-Office is just a "bastardized MS Office Suite." (Wasn't a major purpose of Euro-Office was to get away from being captive and enslaved to MS's Office Suite??)

      Microsoft continues its long-term policy of spying on their users--despite vehement denials. That feature will be disabled (or removed) either "elegantly" with MS providing a true way to disable it, or "quick and dirty" via a third-party who WILL come up with a way to disable it. Your choice MS...
