YLE Commissions Second Series of Strix Format

STOCKHOLM, February 12: YLE’s TV2 has commissioned a second
season of the Strix TV format My Best Friend, which has already been optioned into eight territories around the world
and licensed to Spain.

My Best Friend is a TV format focused on the relationship between
man and dog. It is centered on pet owners who are looking for new homes for
their dogs. In Finland it airs as Koiralle Koti.

Timo Järvi, the commissioning
editor of factual for YLE TV2, said the show had “exceeded our highest
expectations for the 18:35 slot. From the first episode forward the numbers
have almost doubled our estimations and we are very much looking forward to
making another series finding homes for unfortunate dogs.”
