Default Skins Usa!!
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.

Hope they show it on E4 here

It's gonna be awful, the only channels that had a SLIGHTEST chance of doing it correctly were HBO and Showtime. I won't watch it if it's shown over here.

Which it won't. American Idol gets between 15 and 22m, so X Factor will do a lot better than that.

They shouldnt even fucking have our X Factor though anyway.

They have AI really honestly, I mean the only reason they want XF this is the truth, the only reason they want it is because we have it and its very popular here.

Greedy.


If AI Is so successful over there, which as you pointed out it is, then they should just keep that but now they will take XF and claim its their own and say how 'better' it is than the Original XF.

The plot will be exactly the same as series 1 and 2, the characters will have the same names (Tony, Michelle, ....), the same stories (a gay, a Muslim, an anorexic...), same drama (Michelle vs Cassie...)

+ they confirmed there will be no swear words, nudity or sex.

It's going to be a lighter version of 90210.
