SKAM France was 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, and tenth seasons of SKAM France (centering around the characters of Arthur Broussard, Lola Lecomte, Tiffany Prigent, Bilal Cherif, Maya Etienne, and Anaïs Rocha) 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.

Season 6 aired from 24 April to 26 June 2020 and comprised 10 episodes.[8] It centers around Lola Lecomte and problems of addiction and self-destructive behavior.
In the final episode of season 5,[9] the audience finds out that Lola is the younger sister of Daphne, who is a part of the original cast. Lola and Daphne are estranged siblings who are dealing with their mother's death in different ways. While Daphne is joyful and seemingly happy, Lola is the complete opposite with her unenthusiastic dark attitude. After their mother's death, the two sisters learn how to cooperate and build their bond again. Although it is a struggle at first for Lola to trust Daphne, they eventually end up being supportive siblings. Daphne supports Lola with her fight for sobriety and Lola supports Daphne with her eating disorders. Despite this season focusing heavily on familial reconnection, it also focuses on love and friendships. It is during this season that the audience is introduced to the "La Mif" which is Lola's friend group.
During this season the group included, Maya Etienne (Lola's love interest), Jo Benezra, Max Bernini, and Sekou. They each have something to bring to the table and show Lola to be herself while having fun attending parties or urbex exploring. Lola also develops a strong bond with Eliott Demaury who is introduced in season 3 as Lucas Lallement's love interest and later boyfriend. Even though, they met in the first episode of season 6, the two officially start growing closer in episode four, "La descente".[10] Elliot can relate to Lola in the aspect of not being perfect as he has suffered from his own problems in the past and has not so proudly turned to alcohol and weed for comfort. Lola feels comfortable with Elliot which in turn creates a connection between them as she feels he's a mentor and good friend to her. Throughout the season, the audience is taken on a journey through the eyes of Lola and her battle with self-hatred, drug addiction, love, and friendship. Moreover, this season is the first of the "new" generation as the focus shifts on younger students than the original cast.
