MTV has reportedly picked up an American version of Skins.
According to Deadline, the network has ordered ten episodes of the teen series.
MTV's senior vice-president of series development Liz Gateley allegedly pursued the rights to the format for nearly two years before ordering a pilot in August.
The co-creator of the UK version Bryan Elsley wrote the pilot and is executive producing the project. The show will largely be penned by teenagers, like the British version.
MTV is thought to be planning a January launch for the show.
Skins finished its fourth run in the UK earlier this year and has been renewed for two more series. A movie version is also in the works.
