After six seasons, it has been decided that Skins will be coming to an end. Contrary to what has been reported, I have received word that Kaya will not be participating in a special episode of Skins to conclude the end of the series. I have been told from her representatives that she is not attached to the project, but there has indeed been discussion about the possibility of three final episodes, but at this stage, the discussions have not progressed to who will be involved. Unfortunately, everything is still up for discussion. I’ll let you all know if anything changes.
Kaya has been nominated for the PANDORA Breakthrough award for this year’s Glamour Awards. This award honours women who have made a debut for this year, and Kaya is being recognized for her role in Wuthering Heights. You also have the option to nominate Kaya in any other category if you wish. To vote, you can do so here. The awards ceremony will take place on May 29th.
Women’s Wear Daily has recently chatted to Kaya about Wuthering Heights, and the emergence of new roles. Check out the photoshoot and interview below:
By starring in director Andrea Arnold’s adaptation of “Wuthering Heights,” Kaya Scodelario is the latest in a long line of British ingénues to earn her spurs in a period drama.
But the 19-year-old Londoner doesn’t channel the delicate turns of phrase and genteel manners that the genre is known for. Instead, Scodelario gives an emotionally raw performance as Catherine Earnshaw in Arnold’s earthy, rough-hewn adaptation of Emily Bronte’s classic novel. The film, which gets its U.S. premiere this weekend at the Sundance Film Festival, earned much buzz when it premiered in Europe at the Venice Film Festival late last year, with Britain’s Daily Telegraph noting that Scodelario “crackles with flirtatious petulance” in the role.
Kaya’s birthday is coming up in March, and our friends at Oh Scodelario are putting together a birthday project for her. The graphic below will inform you on how you can contribute, or you can check out the project’s site here.
