Skam Austin shares the same set-up as the original series by releasing short Clips during the week as well as posting text message screenshots on their Facebook page and having characters post on their personal social media accounts. Unlike the original series there is no offical website, only an offical Facebook page where the episodes and Clips are uploaded.
Production
In December 2016, XIX Entertainment obtained the rights to an English-speaking version of Skam, making it the first of the remakes to be announced.[1] In October 2017, Facebook confirmed that the series would be released on their own streaming platform,[2] it was also later confirmed that the original series' creator, Julie Andem would also serve as showrunner for the American adaptation.[3]
Casting for the first season began in November 2017 and ended in December.[4][5] A trailer was released on the show's Facebook page on April 17, 2018.[6] The first clip was aired on April 24, 2018, making it the fourth remake to be released.
On July 25, 2018, it was announced that Skam Austin was renewed for a second season.[7] In early February 2019, Julie Andem was a guest on the Tore Sagens Podcast, it was stated that Julie had moved back to Norway from Austin leading fans to speculate that she was no longer apart of the series.[8] In an Instagram post after the Season 2 premiere, Julie confirmed that Karen Diconcetto would be the new showrunner.[9] The first trailer for the season was released February 28,[10] confirming that the first clip would be released on March 15. The second season's first episode premiered March 22.
