Late last month we were introduced to the new cast of the new season of the hit British TV series Skins and today we get to watch a new trailer that gives us a pretty extensive feel for the way the new gang will be interacting, especially when they are all introduced to one another in the season premiere episode. US readers may not be very familiar with Skins (which airs in this country on BBC America) but I can assure you, it’s a really great (if oftentimes totally exaggerated) television series. Here is an extended trailer for the upcoming third season of Skins … be warned, some of the language and imagery may be NSFW (additionally, some portions of the clip may be unintelligible to folks who have a hard time deciphering British accents):

Yeah, it looks pretty good … tho, I’m still reserving total judgment until I’m able to watch the series (or at least the first few eps) in full for myself. I so love the original cast of characters from the first two seasons of Skins (who have since graduated from college [just after high school but not university]). My fear is that season three will attempt to outdo the crazy stuff we saw in the first two seasons of the show merely for shock value. I’d rather the series continue to stick to the witty writing and amazing character development that we got from the original cast. Dev Patel, who played Anwar in seasons 1 and 2 of Skins, can currently be seen in the amazing movie Slumdog Millionaire … that might give y’all a better understanding of the quality that was had from the original cast. I like this trailer … but I want to see more. There is still no word on when exactly season 3 of Skins will air here in the US (at this point, word is we’ll get the next season sometime in “Spring 2009″) but the show will premiere in the UK on Thursday January 22. Folks here in the US interested in catching up with the first two seasons of Skins can catch reruns on BBC America OR can download all of the eps HERE on iTunes OR the season 1 DVD set can be ordered from BBC America HERE:

Im an american college(university) student studying in the uk and i have seen every skins episode out there (they just finished broadcasting the last episode of sean 3 on thursday) and i can tell you the end is a little disappointing. The 3rd season isnt half as good and the 1st and 2nd one. as you said, trent, the 1st and 2nd seasoon was so overwhelming that for the 3rd one they have tried so hard to top it by being rediculously nuts. It’s a bit of a shame. Then again, it’s definitely worth the wait and the watch!
I love SKINS…Trent got me hooked. I live in the US but I found a website that I can enjoy and watch all the Seasons even Season 3. I finished the finale episode for Season 3 and I can’t wait for the next one.
