teen tv: representations, readings and modes of production of current youth series

Teen TV is booming. Current youth series on streaming platforms are a clear indication of this, but have so far received little attention in German-language media studies. This anthology provides a fundamental introduction to serial teen TV and takes a look at central case studies, from 13 Reasons Why to DRUCK, the German adaptation of the Norwegian transmedia youth drama SKAM. In addition to the content and aesthetics of serial teen narratives, it looks at their reception and production contexts.
