(Think the good, first season of Heroes with Buffy-esque snark and a similar Scooby-ish gang).... There's no network attached as of yet, but given the response to the original series, it's hard not to imagine it finding a Stateside TV home.
"Misfits, unlike many imported formats," the article continues, "has already proven itself to be of interest to American viewers. This past summer, Hulu began streaming the freshman season of the show, and the results were impressive: It regularly ranked among the site's most-streamed series whenever new episodes dropped, with Variety estimating more than 9 million views to date. This American success mirrors a strong run on Britain's E4 network, both critically and commercially: The most recent season of Misfits averaged over one million viewers per episode, doubling ratings from 2009's season one... The comparisons to Buffy and Skins would seem to make Schwartz a potentially ideal collaborator for Overman: The writer's known for injecting scripts with plenty of wry banter, and both The O.C. and Gossip Girl [which Schwartz was attached to] pulled no punches in depicting the teen animal in its natural, sex-and-alcohol-obsessed state."
