SkinsAfter multiple boycotts from the Parents Television Council, fleeing advertisers and steeply declining ratings, MTV won’t go ahead with a second season of the racy teen soap ‘Skins.’

The controversial series, adapted from the British series of the same name by original creator Bryan Elsley, followed a group of hard-partying teens from an unspecified North American city.
