Abstract
This chapter addresses the dichotomy between assertions of teen nihilism in the face of social and political precarity and the melodramatic minutia of teen life within the bounds of two national remakes of the popular transmedia Norwegian teen drama SKAM (trans. Shame, 2015–2017, NRK): DRUCK (trans. Pressure, 2018–2022, ZDF/funk) and SKAM: Italia (2018–2024, TIMvision/Netflix), the respective German and Italian remakes. The chapter further interrogates how teen television allows adolescents to see their place within globalized frameworks of precarity and belonging while offering youth strategies for negotiating both individual worries and socio-cultural anxieties in a nationalized context.
