The original cast members of Skins reunited more than a decade after their last episode together, leaving fans feeling emotional.

The drama, which first hit screens in 2007, was popular with younger viewers who responded to the ‘realistic’ characters and how they represented teenage life in Britain. 

This week, Kaya Scodelario posted a series of images and clips on Instagram of herself with Nicholas Hoult, Daniel Kaluuya and Joe Dempsie.

Captioning the image, she said: ‘The way I used to pray for brothers growing up – knowing I have you all now is everything.’

Reacting on X, one fan said: ‘This has really put me in my feels’;

‘I love seeing the skins cast still interacting with each other to this day’;

‘Makes me feel so old!’; ‘So much talent in one pic’

Skins launched the careers of some of Britain’s most hyped actors of the noughties.

But before it brought the glittering talents of stars like the latest Superman villain Nicholas Hoult to the screen – Skins was the hot new E4 show that cast bright-eyed, fresh-faced teens in its edgy drama.

Now a large portion of the alum boast a myriad of award-winning projects, Oscar nominations, BAFTA wins and Hollywood-laden film credits – while others have ventured to pastures anew, including one fan-favourite who became a neuroscientist, while another moved to teaching.

Nicholas’ character Tony Stonem was as cool as he was manipulative – a stud with a harem of doe-eyed admires at his heels. And while morally ambiguous in the series, the actor, then just 17, stole the hearts of viewers with his devilishly handsome looks and outrageous scheming.

Having previously starred in About a Boy when he was 11-years-old, Skins was Nicholas’ second big role before reaching adulthood.

The star, now 35 – who is originally from Wokingham in Berkshire – has now more than settled into his leading man charm.

Through the noughties, he went on to star in a string of blockbuster flicks, including the X-Men series, Mad Max: Fury Road, The Favourite and The Menu. In his most recent project, he is playing Lex Luthor in the new Superman film.

Kaya played Effy, Tony’s little sister, who often partied more than her brother in the coming-of-age show – and was often seen sneaking off at night to indulge in revelry.

She quickly became a fan-favourite, hence launching Kaya Scodelario’s successful on screen career; despite her being cast in the role at just 14, having never acted a day in her life.

Considered revolutionary television today, the programme captured the imaginations of an entire generation of millennials when it debuted, as audiences watched its characters indulge in outrageous sexual escapades, go on drug binges and skip school.

Although it was a satire at heart, viewers responded to the ‘realistic’ characters and how they represented teenage life in Britain.

Created by Bryan Elsley and his son Jamie Brittain, the programme was the launchpad for a handful of the cast, including Nicholas Hoult and Kaya Scodelario, who have wowed with hits like Nosferatu and Guy Ritchie ‘s The Gentlemen respectively.

Elsewhere, Dev Patel, who played Anwar Kharral and Daniel Kaluuya, who starred as Posh Kenneth, have each earned Oscar noms – with the latter snagging Best Supporting actor for his part in Judas and the Black Messiah in 2021.

The last episode that featured the original cast members was in April 2008 with the tenth and final episode of season two, called ‘Final Goodbyes’.Skins is available to watch on Channel 4.
