Skins Trailer: Sex, Drugs And Trampolines Coming To MTV

Judging by the trailer for MTV’s upcoming new scripted drama series Skins, these kids are having a pretty wild time in their high school years.

Sex, drugs and trampolines? MTV’s never been a network for subtly when it comes to youth-gone-wild, so why would this version of scripted adolescence be any different? Below is part of the description for the series as posted on the Skins website and further down is the trailer.

SKINS is a wild ride through the lives of nine high school friends stumbling through the mine field of adolescence... and stepping on most of the mines as they go. Be it sex, drugs, the breadth of friendships or the depth of heartbreaks, SKINS is an emotional mosh-pit that slams through the insanity of teenage years.
