All seven seasons of the BAFTA-winning teen drama Skins are set to become available on India’s VROTT.

Created by Company Pictures and Bryan Elsley, Skins follows a group of teenagers as they attempt to manage their lives, loves, emotional highs and inevitable lows. Having successfully launched the first three seasons of Skins in India on the OTT platform VROTT, VR Films has now licensed all seasons of the hit from All3Media International’s catalog.

The show has since launched the careers of A-list talent, including Dev Patel, Daniel Kaluuya, Kaya Scodelario and Nicholas Hoult.

In addition to Skins, VR Films has also acquired an impressive slate of additional thrillers, detective dramas and young adult series from All3Media International including Clique season two, as well as The Ex-Wife, The Holiday, Too Close and Van Der Valk season three. These join relicensed dramas Baptiste seasons one and two, Deceit, The Deceived, Des, Innocent seasons one and two, Penance, Van Der Valk seasons one and two and White House Farm.

Jaenani Netra, VP of India for All3Media International, commented: “I’m delighted to continue to expand All3Media International’s scripted presence in India with our fantastic partners at VR Films.
