British TV is preparing the way for the return of their amazing series Skins which will debut its 4th season next month. As you may recall, an entirely new cast of players was announced around this time last year for the show’s 3rd season … a move that was not initially well-received. The original cast of Skins (which included Dev Patel who went on to star in Slumdog Millionaire and Nicholas Holt who went on to star in A Single Man) was so beloved that any notion of a new cast was frowned upon. IMHO, the new cast only added to the show’s richness and provided just as much entertainment. The “new” Skins players were featured in an issue of Nylon magazine earlier this year and the show itself got enough attention that MTV is planning a US version for airing here in America (an idea I vehemently oppose). In any regard, a new season of Skins is nearly upon us … here is the first group promo pic from the new season:
I cannot believe it’s been almost an entire year since the last season aired in the UK. I was fortunate enough to be able to watch the series online on You Tube as it aired overseas but now, because of You Tube‘s new policy of restricting international video, I don’t think I’ll be able to watch along so easily this time around. I understand that this upcoming 4th season of Skins will be the last to feature this cast of young players (the original cast were only featured in 2 seasons as well) and that an entirely new cast will be featured in season 5. I love this show so much. BBC America airs Skins in its full, uncensored version here in the US but they do so months after it debuts in the UK. After the jump, check out individual promo photos of the Skins cast in all their neon-colored glory …
No lie, Skins is one of my fave shows right now. I’m actually rewatching the first 3 seasons to gear up for season 4. I’m hoping that I’ll be able to gain access to the new eps as soon as they air in the UK cuz I really don’t want to wait months for the eps to air on BBC America. If you are a fan of Skins, I’m sure you’re just as excited as I am for the upcoming 4th season … if you’re not familiar with the show, I strongly urge you seek and check it out. It’s an amazingly well written, well acted and very entertaining series. Any Skins fans out there? What do you think of these new promo photos?

Even though last season wasn’t my favorite, I still want to see season 4. Trent, bittorrent is your friend. Downloading episodes of TV shows isn’t really illegal. In fact, it’s very iffy territory if it’s from the UK> Downloading music and movies is illegal but honestly TV shows are posted free online through all sources like hulu.com and abc. You will not get busted for dl a tv show.
AWESOME!!!!! So stoked for this!!!!
a US version of skins?
Where every fuck is turned into a beep?
And every kind of nudity is completely blurry..
wow.. must be fun to watch.
i prefer all things british
I love skins, dont let mtv mess it up.
theres a five minute trailer avaliable on the skins e4 website, its been on there for about a month now, so this news is a bit old sorry :)
@gemini2691 — What are you talking about, the photos were released the day I posted them.
I LOVE skins!! So excited for season 4. I watch all the new episodes on Surfthechannel.com the next day, but beware, some friends have actually gotten viruses from the site…
Also, in that first picture, Effy looks A LOT like Michelle from series 1 & 2. She’s missing her trademark smoky eyes!
i love skins so muchbut i can’t figure
out how to watch the first 3 seasons online again
please help a girl out!
love skins!! I think at first I was turned off by the having a new cast since I grew super attached to the old cast and wanted to see everything tied up nice and neat but I have grown fond of the new cast. I am loving their promo photos!! Freddie is by far a super hottie haha
Skins is pretty much my favourite show :)
If you’re worried about watching it as soon as the eps become available, but don’t want to be bothered by downloading, I highly recommend surfthechannel.com — just search skins under television, and it’ll provide you with some links that’ll stream the episode for free. (Sorry if you’ve read this tip before… I was honestly just too lazy to read all the comments. Don’t blame you if you don’t read this one even, ha).
Slaasshh totally off-topic from what I’ve written – but whoaa change in katie’s hair? I’m not entirely decided, but I’m thinking for the better… hmmm.
Skins is such an amazing show!!!! If you go on alluc.org then to TV shows it has a collection of all the sites where the new episodes are posted that night after they air in the UK usually posted 10pm est. Hopefully this is helpful. I watched all of season 3 this way.

SEASON 4 BEST SEASON EVER!!!
Became entranced by the charactors,culture and material.Its educational being we here in America are often clueless as to where many of our expressions orginated from( the U.K.)Warning! ,when MTV gets their hands on anything its stipped of its elements that make it so attractive.These young actors are miles ahead of what we have here.The program is immpecable across the board.The depthness is not to be borrowed.However the drawback will be Americans trying to generate the lifestyle,culture here which will misguilded.If we desire to idolize this material it will be our undoing big time and the seeds have been planted and have taken root.MTV is a RED flag that it will be corrupted and distorted.Has anyone discerned the Briish invasion through the media has taken flight.The documentories and educational promos are laying claim to the American entertainment industry being birthed by BBC!This is spiritually not good and yet we are becoming aware of the breakdown of our culture is rooted in British World Domination Mentality.There is a new bubble of thinking developing here that is going to intoxicate our youth. Skins Parties have surfaced Which was geared originaly to raise our level of awareness and the detriments of drug abuse,sexual promiscuity,lifes nature and the human conditon!.Hope I was fair and balanced in my view of The BBC and the awesome quality they possess in what they do and that Living Life in the most favorable way humanly possible.Thanks to their innovating thinkiking. Love Michael Scorpio
