This article explores the ‘youthification’ of television through real-time storytelling. It draws on a study of the online youth drama blank (2018–2019), NRK’s first follow-up after the hit show SKAM (2015–2017). It finds that real-time drama brings unique opportunities to broadcasters aiming to reconnect with younger audiences, but also substantial challenges. This insight is essential, as previous studies have highlighted the format’s advantages while downplaying its problems and dilemmas. Furthermore, the article emphasises the continuous need for innovation in youth storytelling, especially at public service broadcasters with the mandate and ability to do so.

本文通过实时叙事探讨了电视的“年轻化”。它借鉴了对网络青春剧空白（2018-2019）的研究，这是NRK继热门节目SKAM（2015-2017）之后的第一次跟进。它发现实时戏剧为旨在重新与年轻观众建立联系的广播公司带来了独特的机会，但也带来了巨大的挑战。这种洞察力是必不可少的，因为之前的研究强调了该格式的优势，同时淡化了其问题和困境。此外，文章强调了对青年讲故事创新的持续需求，特别是在有任务和能力的公共服务广播公司。
