Channel 4 has announced that Skins will bow out with one final series in 2013.

The E4 teen drama has been re-commissioned for a special seventh run, which will consist of three films broken into six parts, Digital Spy reports.

Famous characters from previous seasons of the show will reappear in the "celebratory" series.

Among the actors who could return are Nicholas Hoult (Tony), Kaya Scodelario (Effy), Luke Pasqualino (Freddie) and Jack O'Connell (Cook).

The broadcaster said: "Channel 4 today confirmed that next year's series of E4's teen drama Skins will be its last.

"The new series will be a celebration of this truly iconic series, and will go to air in early 2013."

"Skins is a brilliant show which has defined a generation and will go down as a game-changing piece of television.

"But after seven series it is time for E4 to make way for the next generation of the bold, the new and the innovative."

Skins launched in 2007, and the sixth series of the show is currently airing on E4.
