Concept

SKAM France is based on the Norwegian series SKAM, created by Julie Andem, which follows the daily life of high school students and the problems that they face. The plot of each season focuses around a different central character and particular themes. Each adaptation of the original series follows a similar storyline, with the first season focusing on Emma Borgès (the counterpart of SKAM's Eva Kviig Mohn), the second on Manon Demissy (the counterpart of Noora Amalie Sætre), the third on Lucas Lallement (the counterpart of Isak Valtersen), and the fourth on Imane Bakhellal (the counterpart of Sana Bakkoush). The fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth, eleventh, and twelfth seasons of SKAM France (centering around the characters of Arthur Broussard, Lola Lecomte, Tiffany Prigent, Bilal Cherif, Maya Etienne, Anaïs Rocha, Rym Brahimi, and Maël Le Gall) are not based on the original series.

The series was aired via short clips published on the Internet in real-time which are compiled to form a longer episode at the end of each week. Characters also have in-universe Instagram accounts where text conversations are published.
