Rare foray into security policy for Yle's topical satire with new agent comedy

Yle Areena has launched a new satirical comedy series, "Kansallisen turvallisuuden virasto – Erittäin salainen" (National Security Agency – Top Secret), which tackles themes of foreign and security policy in a rare move for the broadcaster's topical satire.

The series features Daniel Virtanen and Lina Schiffer as secret agents B12 and Supi, who are tasked with finding a missing nuclear warhead. The warhead has mysteriously appeared at the Upinniemi military base as part of a NATO exercise, creating a high-stakes scenario for the agents.

Described as a witty comedy, the show delves into whether the situation is a worst-case nightmare or a "wet dream," depending on one's perspective. The premise sets up a blend of espionage, humor, and commentary on sensitive geopolitical issues, featuring a cast of "interesting names."
