Synopsis
Our favourite ASBO superheroes are back. New guys Finn and Jess join old favourites Rudy, Curtis and Seth for a power-crazed fourth series.
Do the new Misfits have any new A-list powers? Well, kind of. Jess has X-ray vision and Finn has telekinesis - although he finds it a challenge to move even a cup of tea. And keeping our gang on the straight and narrow, or at least trying to, is new probation worker Greg with a set of warped moral guidelines and an incredibly short fuse.
While adapting to life on community service, Finn tries to save his relationship with girlfriend Sadie - a relationship that has taken a superpower twist. Jess falls for mysterious, sexy barman Alex who seems to be harbouring a dark secret. And it's time to say a final goodbye to an old gang member, before all hell quite literally breaks loose with the arrival of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
The future's bright. The future's still a dirty shade of orange.

Trivia
- Despite Matt Stokoe being a cast member, he does not appear in nor is he credited in the Opening Titles.
- This is the only series to have cast changes inbetween episodes within the series, rather than inbetween each series.
- This series has the least cast members at anytime (4 in episodes 1 and 5 with only 3 credited in the latter), while also has the most altogether (6 counting Matt Stokoe). With the exception of episode 5, only up to 4 cast members are featured in the opening titles.
- All members of the original cast, save for Nathan Stewart-Jarrett, are no longer present. With Stewart-Jarrett's departure in episode 4, all of the original cast are gone by episode 5, and from episode 6 onwards, the cast remains the same for the rest of the show's run.
- This is the only series not to feature time travel as a story element.
