US To Remake Skins

MTV has said it plans to create it's own version of Channel 4's teen comedy drama, Skins. The third season of the show is currently being aired on Channel 4 after previously being shown on E4. A fourth series is due to show on E4 in 2010.

"Skins is one of those rare shows that cuts through to its core audience with unusually authentic stories due to the unique writing and casting process that Bryan pioneered," said MTV's Liz Gateley.

"Having personally pursued the UK project for almost two years, I am beyond thrilled to bring it to MTV in the US. We intend to preserve the authenticity of the British version and are excited to collaborate with the original team to develop stories that will speak to American youth."
