Gilgun was announced as new character Rudy in May following the departure of Sheehan, who played Nathan in Series 1 and Series 2.

Titled ‘Vegas Baby!’, the 8-minute film will premiere on E4.com/misfits on Thursday 15th September. The film will give fans “a chance to say goodbye to motor mouth Nathan, who armed with a new superpower, has got a plan to go out in style”.

The synopsis reads: “With Marnie and little Nathan Jnr. in tow, Nathan is plotting to use his new superpower to scam the casinos… As ever with Nathan, it’s a sure-fire plan that can’t fail. Except it does… and Nathan finds himself on the run. Short on options, Nathan tries to call an old friend…”

E4 have also confirmed today that Series 3 will begin on the channel in October.

Earlier this year, creator Howard Overman hinted at what’s coming up in the third series, promising “two big stories”.
