‘Skins’: Series 6 begins filming

Posted Filed under

The ten episodes will shoot until December and will air on E4 in early 2012.

The official press-release states: “The gang returns in style, burning their way through a new term at Roundview as new friendships, secret relationships and sexual awakening complicate their already messy lives. Caught between past and present, the bonds between them are tested as they learn what it really means to be a friend, a lover, an adult.”

Camilla Campbell, Channel 4 Head of Drama commented: “Having set up this new set of characters in the previous series, we can now go into more depth as to where their stories take us. With moral ambiguity, high drama, as well as a strong dose of comedy, [Series] 6 will not disappoint.”

Executive producer John Griffin added: “We’re hugely excited about the fantastic mix of writers we have for Skins this year, some of whom are first time screen writers. They‘ve spent the past few months developing exciting and challenging stories for our characters and as filming gets underway we’re all very excited to see them realised onto to the screen.”

Series 5 concluded on E4 in March.
