10 TV Shows That Switched Main Characters
1. Misfits
Where in other entries I have focused on the standout member of an ensemble cast, for this entry I will be looking at the entire original main cast.
Based on the strange superpowers people gained after a freak lightning strike, Misfits focuses on a group of young delinquents performing community service. The five developing powers including telepathy, rewinding time, invisibility, invincibility, and making people uncontrollably horny. No, seriously.
In the aftermath of these new abilities, Kelly kills their probation officer, Tony, in self-defence after he had been driven mad by his own power. In their attempts at covering up his death, Simon accidentally kills Tony's replacement, Sally. The group decides that from that point forward, the group must keep their powers concealed.
Interactions throughout the opening seasons largely consist of issues with other super-powered people. As of season four, Alisha has died in their current reality, Simon has travelled back in time, Kelly has moved to Africa and Nathan has been put in prison for attempting to defraud a casino, leaving Curtis as the only remaining character.
The cast is replaced with a new group of troubled youths serving their own community service. Partway through season four, however, Curtis too would be killed off, and season five would conclude the series with the cast introduced just one season prior.
