Entire NEW cast for Skins in Series 3

[Kardan]

The executive producer of Skins has confirmed its entire cast will change for the next series.

Bryan Elsey said: "There are risks associated with dumping a cast, but we just did it. There was some disquiet at the channel, but then they told us just to go with it.

"It's exciting - we never stand still and we can tell our stories in a new way."

Speaking at Broadcast's television drama conference this week, he also confirmed the show would stick to its pattern of introducing college-age characters, moving them on in the next series, then letting them go.

"The first year is about getting to know the kids, and the second gives us the advantage of being able to explore their psyches a little more," said Elsey.

The show will also continue to use a team of up to 20 writers, including newcomers.

I'm gutted... I think it's amazing, but with new characters, I'm not so sure.

I probably won't watch it now

[Virgin Mary]

No!!!!!!!!! Especially not Maxxie

[Jinxey]

Thats terrible to be honest, I find it hard adjusting to change in TV programmes because it just doesn't seem to same anymore... I will probably watch it but if I don't enjoy the first few episodes I will give up on it.

I'm not sure that's totally true because they have already started filming series 3 and were looking for new characters to be alongside the current ones.

It'll just be new characters along with the original ones, so they can evolve the story line a lot more by having more main characters.
