The Skinner Boys - Season 1
Season 1
It's Skinner time! World explorer Augustus Skinner left his 4 grandkids a big surprise… the Skinner kids are now Guardians of the Lost Secrets… a collection of artefacts across the world that possess freaky powers, and crazy creatures that nobody ever believed really existed.
As international adventurers, artefact hunters and secret guardians – these teens must live their lives protecting The Lost Secrets against those who would corrupt their powers and endanger the planet.
This is the flipped-out, fun and freakish world of the Skinners. And it all results in loads of freestyle missions, teenage antics and offbeat fun.
Being teens, these kids have a secret weapon – their youth! Nobody would ever guess that four kids would be capable of outsmarting the powerful Shadowy League and protecting the world.
