The US version of Skins was cancelled after one 10 episode season on MTV and now the UK original has been axed as well, after seven seasons.
According to The Guardian, Channel 4 has confirmed that the final season will air early next year in the UK. They promise “a celebration of this truly iconic series”.
Created by father-and-son writers Bryan Elsley and Jamie Brittain, Skins follows the lives of teenagers in Bristol, South West England. It premiered in January 2007 on E4 and attracted 1.4 million viewers. At the time, that was the channel’s second biggest audience (behind Big Brother) for a UK-originated show.
A Channel 4 spokeswoman said, “Skins is a brilliant show which has defined a generation and will go down as a truly iconic, game-changing piece of television but after seven series it is time for E4 to make way for the next generation of the bold, the new and the innovative.”
Here in the states, BBC America aired the first three seasons of Skins, from August 2008 until October 2009.
What do you think? Are you a fan of the original Skins? Do you think it’s time to end the series?
Give us more, give us more, it would be so easy a new cast and it would be fine bring it back!!!
From Holland, watched every episode and i want more!
I’m from germany and I watched the complete series of skins. (In english) Please don’t cancel this show!!! It’s amazing! My friends and I love skins!
Those stupid ******* called one million moms had this show cancelled look them up those ******* seriously they had this show cancelled one million moms
They should have the new series with livs sis, cooks brother, freddies sis, thomas brother or sister, emily and katies brother this is what skins season 8 should look like
**** the lot of you! I’m from Pakistan and id rather have myself droned by The Sas than have SKINS shut down. Losing faith in humanity.
I was really hoping the news would change. I really loved the series. I cried when Season 2 ended. Was completely a HUGE fan of PANDORA! Loved Liv and Grace. And I cried through that too. But I enjoyed seeing how the characters moved on in the last season. That was truly the best series I have ever followed. Honestly. I have my favorite shows from each season. But I loved how I felt connected with some of the characters. The father/duo should have another go. For old times sakes. Please. Feel the love from New Mexico, USA!!!
there should be season 8 it’s an amazing show and should not be cancelled…
Boo, don’t cancel this series <3 this show was seriously the bestest show ever. I watched every single season. I'm from Canada and I love this show! This show is a worldwide thing not only in the uk. I'm sure everyone is upset about it ending I know I am. Please, don't end it. Just… Never stop making episodes. Lol.
I would really like to see the series go on, and give us some more in site in where the other characters are. It has always bugged me that during all the things the Eff was going though that Tony never came to see how she was, and what ever happen to Sid, or JJ, two of my favorite characters. I would really like to see what has happen, maybe a miniseries and/or a movie. I really enjoyed this British show, and because of Skins have tuned to more British shows.
No i don’t think k skins should be canceled because its an amazing movie it touches you heart the after the first season why should skins leave off at amazing part the detector should tell us more about Tone,Sid,Cassie,jal,Michel,Max and the others what did there life end up like don’t stop and let peeples hang please make a new a 8 one

Season 7 isnt out yet, but its coming soon this summer and from what Ive heard it wont be an entire season and will bring back some old faces.
This is bullocks, whoever had the idea of wanting to cancel the show is a major twat in the society, really disappointed as like everyone else because it was such a historical and interesting ******* show.
