Not sure if there is a thread for the UK verison on here, but i found this series fantastic. The seasons are so well put together, the casts (there have been 3 different ones) are amazing, and the storylines are some of the most unique, gritty depictions of teenage angst compared to the many carbon copy US teen dramas. Anyways, with the last season (season 6) finishing out the 3rd generation of skins, they renewed it for one more final season.
In season 7, we take a look into the current lives of 3 popular characters from past generations: Cassie, Effy, and Cook. Each character has two episodes that play out as sort of a short film (think Sherlock's 3 episode seasons, but each ep divided into two halves). There will be other returning characters that we will get to catch a glimpse of, but for this season alone, it will focus on the lives of the 3 main kids.
Here are the descriptions for each story:

Fans of Skins unite!! If you are new to the show, definitely check it out if you have the chance!! I hear Netflix has all the seasons, or you can always find them through many other "resources". I'm sad its coming to an end, but this is a good way to go out... and hey maybe if its really popular, they will do something similar with 3 other fan favourites (like Tony, Fitch twins, Rich)... we can always dream, right?
