Skins 'may be axed before fourth series'

[Arneldo]

Teen drama Skins may be axed at the end of its current run, according to one of its stars.

Kaya Scodelario, who has played Effy Stonem in all three series of the show, told London Lite that the actors are yet to hear from producers about the future of the programme.

Scodelario said: "I'm really hoping we do a fourth series of Skins, but I'm not sure it's going to happen.

"They haven't told us yet, what with the credit crunch and all. We finished filming [the third] series just before Christmas, so at the moment I'm just relaxing."

Scodelario was one of only two teen cast members who returned to the show when it was relaunched this year.

Bad idea, the show went down to 500,000 or something about 5 weeks ago, but in the last 2 weeks its gotten 1m viewers on E4 which is fantastic... its a success, axing it will be stupid.

Never mind... Back to the drawing board. Word on the street.. "tis sheeet!"

It won't be. It's the most successful show on E4 ATM it's generally consistent and in the long run I don't think it's that expensive. It would be idiotic to get rid of it.

it would be expensive for a digital channel. Far more expensive then airing some cheap American reality show. Dramas can be quite expensive.

If it does come back, and I really don't know if it will or not, I think it would be good maybe to try it off on C4 straight away. This way it might bring in more viewers and might mean they get more for their money.
