Amelia Dimoldenberg wants to reinvent Skins for Gen Z.
The online creator, who has turned Chicken Shop Date into a YouTube sensation, has revealed that she is developing a young adult drama series for the BBC.
In an interview at the Edinburgh TV Festival, Dimoldenberg said the drama was “my version of Skins,” the defining Channel 4 drama that launched the careers of stars including Nicholas Hoult, Jack O’Connell, and Kaya Scodelario.
Dimoldenberg said the development process had been protracted, but that she would “will it into existence” like she did with Chicken Shop Date and her upcoming romantic comedy, which is in development with Amazon MGM Studios’ Orion Pictures.
Dimoldenberg is writing the BBC series, though the project has not been officially greenlit by the British broadcaster. The YouTube star did not reveal any further details about the plot, but said it had always been a dream to create a series for television.
