Freeform Orders Misfits Reboot

Freeform has given a pilot order for a Misfits reboot. Entitled, Misfits, the supernatural show is inspired by the popular British series.

Misfits revolves around on a group of young offenders in a community service program who develop supernatural powers after being hit by a mysterious electrical storm.

Ashleigh LaThrop, Tre Hall, Allie MacDonald and Jake Cannavale have been cast as four of the five leads. Lathrop will play Alicia, a spoiled, vapid, middle-class party girl who seems to have three main goals in life: have fun, look hot and get guys. Hall plays Curtis, a talented and cocky football player with a promising career ahead of him who is used to everything going his way.

MacDonald plays the tough and trashy Kelly, who is street smart with a hair-trigger temper and a penchant for beating the crap out of people. Cannavale plays Nathan, a con artist and thief with a heavily inflated sense of his own attractiveness, intelligence and potential.

Production on the pilot will begin later this year.
