Skins USA, which takes the British series to Baltimore, Maryland, debuts in January on MTV. The remake will feature a lesbian character, Tea, replacing the original’s gay character, Maxxie, as we reported first before anyone else in the whole world.
An exclusive sneak peek of Skins will premiere tonight on MTV following the finale of Jersey Shore, which is troubling w/r/t the target audience of this show we hold so dear to our hearts.
From MTV:
SKINS is a wild ride through the lives of nine high school friends stumbling through the mine field of adolescence… and stepping on most of the mines as they go. Be it sex, drugs, the breadth of friendships or the depth of heartbreaks, SKINS is an emotional mosh-pit that slams through the insanity of teenage years.
The kids of SKINS will crush hearts and burn brain cells, while fearlessly confronting every obstacle head on… or slightly off.
Here’s the trailer!
Also, there’s another video here but we can’t embed it and also the audio/video is out of sync, which is annoying.
