Mitch Hewer / Skins Season 2

There will be 10 episodes in this series, each one focusing one or two characters in particular. The first episode will focus on Maxxie! There will also be more guest stars just like series one.

Maxxies father will be casted in this series, played by Bill Bailey. Episodes 5 and 6 will be directed by Harry Enfield, and these episodes will focus on Tony and Chris. According to a radio interview with Joe Dempsie, they have been filming in Wales their will be a skinny dipping scene.

Perhaps Wales is the trip away that has been confirmed, just like Russia in series 1. Episode 2 will be about a character who we have never seen before, and a character from a previous unseen episode will feature in the main series this time.

Ex-Eastenders star Shane Richie has signed up to appear in controversial teen drama Skins. The actor, who played Alfie Moon in the soap, will play a trendy teacher who gets too close to his college students. A source told The Sun: "Shane is a big fan of Skins and jumped at the chance of a part — even though it’s quite a risque role.

 

Scriptwriters are toying with the idea of him taking one of the pupils to bed. It promises to be pretty shocking stuff, but in the context of the show it’s no surprise. “Skins is all about causing controversy by showing exactly what really goes on in the lives of today’s teens.” A Channel 4 spokesperson confirmed Richie's involvement in the show, which returns next January to E4, but denied that his character would sleep with a pupil. "It is safe to say it will be in true Skins style," said the spokesperson. "So funny, frank and a bit naughty in equal measure."
