New trailer: 'Skins' Season 3

Below is a new trailer for the third season of BBC America's much-buzzed-about "Skins." This was one of the best previews shown during the cable portion of TCA (previously discussed here), and the network was kind enough to send over a copy. It's a four-minute, online-exclusive-that-I-know-of introduction to the new cast -- where a group of mostly inexperienced teen actors replace "Skins" freshman such as Dev Patel (who went on to star in "Slumdog Millionaire").

"Skins" isn't for everyone. The show's style is an exaggerated reality, sort of like a comic book about oversexed high school kids instead of superheroes. Its writers are newcomers, all in their early twenties. Yet the trailer's crass energy could make you want to go commit a misdemeanor or two. Video after the jump (some NSFW language and brief nudity).

This really is the best teen drama series on TV. I even bought the first set on DVD. And I'm almost 50.

But if I had kids? Not a chance I'd let them watch it.

Thus the quandry, how to market the thing.

I might not have continued watching had I not gotten an email from one of the writers. I'm really glad he wrote. But not everyone is blogging about what they watch on TV. And how many letters can one Skins writer write?

The young woman who leads series three, Kaya Scoledario, is gonna be a big star.

totally looking forward to season 3, and woah a tatoo! do kids in the UK these days really have such obscene lists like that? glue?! ;)

@joebua Kaya is such a pretty girl, she totally has looks like a young jennifer connelly. so happy you got the DVD - what do you think of all that bonus footage? the video diaries are great. Have you seen the new widget(!!) too?

For those of you who don't know, the first season of Skins has just come out on DVD. Skins: Volume 1 can be found here.

i hope this info was helpful - i'm helping BBC Video get the word out to all of you die hard fans out there. ;)

it would be better to get the young 'dults out on a field trip -character building and getting healthy in the Lakes.
