Finland’s Tekele has announced that a second season of Yle original youth series “The Short Fuse” is in the works.
Directed by Jani Ilomäki, also behind police series “Roba,” it will be written by Pilke Salo, Milla Tuokkola and Janne Vanhanen and shot over June-July 2024, eyeing a 2025 release on Yle Areena.

“Especially on TikTok,” noted Elomäki.
“I have always considered the young audience to be important.
