I have to say that E4's biggest mistake after Skins 2 ended was not starting a spin off of SKINS showing the lives of some of the first two seasions after they left school. I suspect it was penny pinching and they couldn't afford to pay out to keep the fast rising stars they'd created. Very sad indeed, but if they got their act together such a spin off is still possible.

Digital channel E4 has ordered two new seasons of critically acclaimed drama Skins. The order for fifth and sixth seasons of the drama will mean that producers will be able to plan the story arcs of the characters in better detail and they’ll know that they have two seasons in which to develop the characters. It also means that the producers of the series will be on the hunt for a brand new set of characters as the current cast, which include Kaya Scodelario, Jack O’Connell and Luke Pasqualino, will be written out at the end of Skin’s current fourth season.
It’s not the first time that the producers have axed a set of characters and replaced them with brand new ones. At the end of the show’s second season most of the cast, which included Nicolas Holt, Dev Patel, Mitch Hewer and Joe Dempsie, where written out by producers and open auditions where held to find new characters. The producers will use the open auditions once more to find there new set of characters with auditions in London and Bristol where the series is based and filmed. |
