According to the site baltimoresun.com the American version of Skins will not be filmed in that city .Read the article bellow.
"It is surely not as hard a slap in the face to Baltimore's sense of media identity as the makers of John Waters' "Hairspray" filming the movie version in Toronto. But now comes official word from the producers of MTV's "Skins" that this American version of the Brit teen hit won't be filmed in Baltimore — nor will it even be set here.
It will be filmed in Toronto instead — and set in a "general eastern seaboard" city, according to Bryan Elsley, the co-creator and executive producer of both the BBC series and its American spinoff, which debuts early next year.
And all of this after MTV told The Baltimore Sun last year that the much-anticipated series would be fictionally located in Baltimore with at least some filming done here.
Beyond the desperately needed production dollars that any filming would have added to the local economy, just being the fictional home for a show that generates this kind of passion among young viewers would have been very nice. We could use a little glam-grit-edgy-sexy-hit-youth imagery in Baltimore these days. But it won't be coming from MTV with this show."
