It's been over a decade since viewers were first introduced to the British teens on the UK's "Skins."
"Skins" alums Joe Dempsie and Hannah Murray went on to appear on HBO's "Game of Thrones."
Other actors from the show have had roles in major film series, like "X-Men" and "Pirates of the Caribbean."
It's hard to believe that it's been 13 years since fans first watched a group of British teens navigate their complicated lives on "Skins."
Although this installment of the series aired in 2007 and wrapped in 2013, many of the young actors from it have already gone on to build up their resumes.
Here's what the cast of "Skins" is up to 13 years later.
Nicholas Hoult starred as the show's divisive Tony Stonem on generation one and two of "Skins."
