MTV is bring more sex and more skin to the airwaves, with an American version of the raunchy British teen hit Skins.
The show, which will be about a group of teens living in Baltimore, will be written and produced by Brian Elsley, one of the show's creators, and maintain the original format in that all the stories will be written by previously unknown teenagers who will also star in the show.
The British version (which featured Slumdog star Dev Patel) is notoriously raunchy, so will it be watered down for the U.S.?
Liz Gately, MTV's senior VP of Series Development tells THR that while they won't show nudity or use foul language in the American version, "we don't want to do a softer version of it."
Sounds like they've finally found a worthy successor to Undressed!
