First Generation The first season introduces viewers to Jana Ackermans, the new student at the school that her boyfriend Jens and her ex-best friend Britt attend. Jana only spends time with Jens and his friends, until she makes friends with a new group of girls that help her gain back her confidence and courage, and helps her rediscover who she really is. The second season then focuses on Jana's new best friend, Zoë Loockx, who goes on a journey of self-growth and self-discovery as she balances her friendships with her new found feelings for Senne, a popular boy at school, which clashes with her
feminist values. Other themes for the season include
sexual assault. The third season follows Robbe IJzermans, Jens' best friend, as he grapples with his
coming out, as well as his balancing of his relationships with both his mother, who suffers from
mental illness, and his love interest, Sander, who is bipolar. Starting with season four, the show tackled original storylines surrounding a new character, Kato Fransen. This season was created around the
COVID-19 pandemic, also dealing with topics of
racism,
social media, and
self-harm, as Kato starts a new school, makes friends with the Girl Squad, and forms a romantic interest in Moyo, a friend of Robbe and Jens. Season five pivoted back to the original storyline in
Skam, focusing on Yasmina Ait Omar, a
Muslim teenager who starts to question herself and those around her, as she falls for Younes, her brother's friend who isn't Muslim, and becomes isolated at school from her friend group due to racist and
xenophobic incidents that occur while planning a school trip.
Second Generation Starting from season six onwards,
wtFOCK introduced a new set of original characters. These characters have no connections to the previous cast, and attend a different school. The main character of season 6 is Ada Konings, who struggles to understand her sexuality after hesitating to lose her
virginity to her boyfriend, Finn, as well as struggling to balance that with her friendships and her relationship with her half-sister, Mila. Season 7 focuses on one of Ada's friends, Anaïs Davis, who is considered the "mom" of their friend group. As her parents begin the
divorce process, Anaïs begins to use
alcohol and other substances to cope. She also meets Bobbie, who drags Anaïs into her own reckless life as they fall in love. However, one of their nocturnal escapades go awry, and hurts one of Anaïs' friends in the process. As a result, she feels torn between the girl she loves and her friends.
Otis, a rebranding of the show, centers around Ada and Anaïs' friend, Otis Rojas. In this season, Otis is approached by Liv, a model scout who invites him for a photo shoot: the beginning of a rollercoaster in which the world of glamour, the catwalk and parties take center stage. ==Cast and characters==
