Misfits seasons 1-5 announced for Netflix UK in September

From Digital Spy

Fans of sci-fi comedy/drama Misfits will be able to relive all five series of the classic E4 show as they will all be dropping on Netflix UK next month.

In the wake of star Robert Sheehan's turn in The Umbrella Academy, the streamer has confirmed that his former show will be coming to the platform too.

"ROBERT SHEEHAN NEWS: If S2 of The Umbrella Academy didn't scratch your itch, *all five* seasons of Misfits will be coming to @NetflixUK on 15 September," Netflix UK tweeted.

Not too shabby.

Sheehan spoke last year about comparing his character Klaus Hargreeves from The Umbrella Academy to Nathan Young in Misfits, explaining that he found no similarity.

"No! No, I think they're different enough," the actor said following the release of the first season. "I think what's good, Klaus gets to the essence of the journey, the change starts pretty much you know…episode four.

"I think, even late [episode] three, he's kidnapped. You start to see the pain that he's going through, you know?"
