Misfits to Make U.S. Television Premiere

NEW YORK: The first season of the hit British sci-fi show Misfits is getting its U.S. television premiere, debuting on the Logo channel this summer.

The 6×1-hour first season launches July 19 at 10 p.m. on Logo. The show is distributed by BBC Worldwide and is produced by Clerkenwell Films.

"We’re proud to introduce the U.S. television audience to this beloved series, which is like the mutant offspring of True Blood and X-Men," said Marc Leonard, the senior VP of multiplatform programming at Logo. "Misfits is the perfect series for our Logo viewers who will appreciate how the show’s underdogs rise up, take center stage and start blurring the lines of morality, sexuality, gender and reality itself."
