Sex, suicide and…young carers? MTV’s new web-only drama series, Being Victor, is promising a Skins-style show all about pregnant 16-year-olds who are promiscuous (and possibly young carers).

MTV digital media director Dan Patton told The Guardian, the platform allows young people to deal with subjects including , “sexuality, promiscuity, suicide and young carers”.

“It is very on the money for us at the moment following shows like 16 and Pregnant, which seem to be resonating. MTV’s audience wants gritty issues and they don’t just want to watch them – they want to discuss them with their friends and family.”

Being Victor will run 20 five- to eight-minute shows from 7 September. Until then, Victor has his own character Twitter account and blog.
