MTV has given a 12-episode order to its remake of the British show "The Inbetweeners," Deadline.com reports.

The project is described as a high school comedy that’s a mix of "Superbad" and "Freaks and Geeks," the story says. It focuses on four high school boys who are part of a group of kids who are neither cool nor geeky.

The story notes that there’s no word yet on the future of controversial teen drama "Skins," which recently finished its first season. “Skins” is also an adaptation of a British format.
