It’s less than a month away to the premier of Skins series 5, but if you missed the last two seasons, you’ve missed a whole new cast from the first two series. If that’s not bad enough, there’s a whole new round of cast changes for the 5th incarnation, so you haven’t got long to catch up before the craziness starts again.
The show kicks off with episode 1 on the 27th January 2011 at 10pm on E4. Unfortunately, the trailer doesn’t give a great deal away, so anything could happen, but whatever it is, it’ll probably be a shocker.
The cast for Skins series 5 was, as usual, filled by largely unknown actors, with 5 of them chosen out of a massive 7,000 open audition prospects. The third generation of skins includes Alex Arnold, Sean Teale, Sebastian De Souza, Freya Mavor, Jessica Sula, Will Merrick, Laya Lewis and Dakota Blue Richards.
The title sequence is a little flat (Segal??), but hopefully that won’t take anything away from the shorelines. There’s no word on the number of episodes the 5th series of Skins will have, but if the previous series are anything to go by it’ll be between eight and ten.
