Entire Skins Cast To Change For Series Three

The entire cast of popular Channel 4 drama, Skins, is to change in the next series.

Executive producer of the show, Bryan Elsey said: “There are risks associated with dumping a cast, but we just did it. There was some disquiet at the channel, but then they told us just to go with it.

“It’s exciting – we never stand still and we can tell our stories in a new way.”


Speaking at Broadcast’s television drama conference this week, Bryan added that the show would continue to follow the pattern of changing the cast every two years for the forseeable future.

“The first year is about getting to know the kids, and the second gives us the advantage of being able to explore their psyches a little more,” said Elsey.

    i think your making a HUGE mistake. people aren’t going want to watch new characters when they’ve alredy connected with the exsisting ones and would much prefer to see them grow & develop

  7. Jayme says:

    thats the stupidest thing ever i only watch it for the original cast ,
    no ones going too want too watch it now theirs a new cast.

  8. Brandon says:

    this sucks. bring back the old cast. i’m not watching this crap..

  9. Becky says:

    PLEASE PLEASE bring back the first season cast! You need to continue their story. The second series cast was good but the first cast was the best and you left so many great story lines open there.

    Two pints of Lager was a great show – But the first season cast of SKINS outbeats two pints anyday.

    a whole new cast – well i won’t be watching anymore.

    Changing the cast is a HUGE MISTAKE unless you are going to bring back the original cast then you got a ACE show!

    SKINS ROCKS – i’m still watching the first episodes from the first season over and over again. Bring back Sid and Cassie.

    I don’t want to get to know another cast. Thats a foolish idea. you are going to get viewers upset. It took me a bit to like the second cast cause of the feelings that I had for the first group.

    We bond to these characters, dont go changing them on us.

    I agree with others, why not merge the two cast from the first season and the second?

    or better yet – take the first season cast – and give them their own show and call it ”Choices” – its about the choices the make in life as the grow with Uni and after. The most critical years of our lives.

    SAY NO TO SEASON FOUR – if brand new cast. Bring back first cast!!!
