Since its debut, Skam has become one of Norway’s most loved TV shows — and it didn’t stop there! Thanks to fans who translated and shared it in English (and many other languages), Skam found fans all over the world. It became so popular that eight countries even bought the rights to create their own remakes.

HOW IT WORKS
HOW IT WORKS
Skam has a really unique way of telling its story. Each season focuses on one main character, and over about 10 weeks, we get to experience their life from their point of view.

But it’s not just about regular episodes — Skam is designed to feel real. Instead of airing everything at once, short video clips are released throughout the week, just like real moments happening in real time. Then, at the end of the week, all the clips are combined into a full episode.

While you’re waiting for new clips, you can also see the characters texting each other or posting on Instagram — just like real people. It makes you feel like you’re part of their world!

Do all versions follow the same storyline?
Do all versions follow the same storyline?
All remakes follow the same format as the original SKAM. For their first seasons, they had to follow the same characters' storylines. Then, some remakes created their own original seasons, with known or new characters.

Some characters from the original SKAM were blocked by NRK, meaning remakes couldn't create seasons about them. That is because the original SKAM was planned to get 9 seasons, not only 4: Eva, Noora, Isak, Sana, then Vilde, Christina, Even, Jonas and Magnus.
