E4's groundbreaking hormone-fest wrapped up on August 5, 2013 - with an older Cook (Jack O'Connell) heading off into an uncertain future at the close of 'Rise (Part Two)'.

Cook was but one of 27 major characters featured on Skins across three 'Generations' - in a total of 61 episodes, split into seven series. But where are the teen tearaways of Roundview College now?

Hoult played Tony Stonem - the pre-eminent bad boy of Skins - across its first two series. Later badly hurt in a traffic accident and forced to rely on others, Tony had mellowed by his final episodes.

Now aged 25, Hoult has become a bona-fide Hollywood star with roles in this year's Mad Max: Fury Road and the much-anticipated book adaptations Dark Places and Kill Your Friends.

The series revolves around Dani relocating to a haunted castle in Ireland.

Casting Director Kerrie Mailey is looking for the following new characters:

Gabe (Male)Gabe is 18 / 19 and is a ghost!

He’s the worst, most rubbish ghost in existence – and he knows it. His attempts to be frightening are a joke. However, despite this, Gabe is brimming with charisma and charm; beneath all his insecurity and fear, he’s good-natured, chivalrous, and a proper gentleman

Regular Character

Esme (Female)Esme (ghost, Aged 10/ 11 going on 200-ish)

Born in the 1700s, Esme is – to say the least – a grumpy old woman

trapped in a 10 year-old girl’s body for all eternity. She’s smart, she’s

scheming, and she doesn’t much like human beings.
