Skam France is a French television teen drama series broadcast by France.tv Slash and based on the Norwegian television series, Skam, created by Julie Andem. Skam France was the first international remake of the show to surpass original storylines, originally focusing on two friend groups at Lycée Dorian in Paris, but then focusing on original, younger students at the same school as the series progressed. Each season of the show centers on one character, telling a story through their perspective, touching upon themes of loneliness, friendship, feminism, sexual assault, homosexuality, religion, deafness, substance abuse, bisexuality, pregnancy denial, food insecurity, HIV, grief, depression, anger issues, and asexuality.
The series has been incredibly popular. As of March 2023, it was reported that Skam France had "accumulated more than 400 million views on Slash and YouTube."[1] It has even reached outside of the borders of France, with publication Le Parisien touching upon the popularity of the adaptation in South Korea.[2] The characters and storylines featured on the show have also inspired several pieces of scholarship.[3] [4] [5] [6]
Due to the diversity of its cast, characters, and storylines, the series was awarded the "Out d'or" from the AJL association of LGBTQI journalists in France in 2019. The award "celebrates the visibility of LGBTI people (lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and intersex) in the media," and specifically focused on the inclusion of the love story between Lucas and Eliott, two teenage boys.[7] Skam France was also later awarded the Konbini Commitment Award at the CANNESERIES festival in 2022, which specifically mentioned that the show "is genuine... [and] makes it possible for the audience to identify to its characters. Rewarding SKAM France means celebrating youth, freedom of tone and multicultural speech."[8]
