As proven by a slew of new shows in development, series creators from Finland keep on experimenting.

Koskinen sees “Monster” as a story about a man who doesn’t want to harm anyone, about an adult woman who tries to understand why her childhood love suddenly disappeared and two families facing “the last taboo of our time,” she says. “I didn’t become interested in this story because of some ‘shock value.’ It’s not going to be dark – it will be empathetic and humane. One of our protagonists has these feelings, but he is not acting on them. He is not committing any crimes,” he states. “Women are usually more aware of sexualization. Some time ago, Hannaleena was developing another story. It was set in jail and one of her protagonists had these impulses too. She was keen to finally address these issues.

“We have been able to increase shooting days and production value. It’s appealing to all these producers, because there is enough financing now to make a good drama series. In 2014, 2015, that wasn’t really the case. We had 35 drama series released last year. In a country of 5 million people, it’s quite impressive.

“Last year, when we were hosting this showcase at Series Mania, we noticed that the shows were a little bit different. It wasn’t just Nordic Noir anymore. There is space for something else, something else than your basic crime. Although there is a steady demand for that still – especially in Central Europe.”
