We are happy to announce multiple pre-sales of Queen of Fucking Everything, our upcoming drama series toned with dark humour, ahead of the global premiere at Content London. The series, originally commissioned by YLE (Finland), has been acquired by ZDF (Germany), NPO (Netherlands), VRT (Belgium), NRK (Norway), and RUV (Iceland).
Queen of Fucking Everything (6×50’) is the story of leading Helsinki real estate agent and high society fixture Linda Saarniluoto (Laura Malmivaara, Helsinki Syndrome, Mobile 101), who wakes up one morning to find her husband Mikael (Jussi Nikkilä) missing, probably dead, leaving her owing millions of dollars of debt. Unwilling to give up her lifestyle, Linda is determined to keep up appearances. Forced to steal to survive, she starts from small-time theft but is then drawn deeper into Helsinki’s criminal underworld. There, she uses her business expertise to thrive in everything from money laundering to corrupt business deals and in the end… murder. A woman who loses everything but fights hard – and sometimes dirty – to regain success in two opposing worlds, Linda has to balance her moral limits and relationships. Eventually she rises to become… the Queen of Fucking Everything.
Queen of Fucking Everything is a Rabbit Films production for YLE, written and directed by Tiina Lymi and produced by Minna Haapkylä, Tiina-Mari Pitkänen and Olli Suominen. The premiere is set to be on VOD service YLE Areena on 1.1.2025 followed by the linear broadcaster YLE1 on 5.1.2025. The series is a part of the NEW8 European Public Broadcaster project, which was announced at Content London 2023, and is the first series in the collaboration to come out of Finland.
Jonathan Tuovinen, SVP International, Rabbit Films said: “Queen of Fucking Everything is the perfect mix of drama, crime and pitch-black comedy, exploring how far you’ll go to survive when you have lost everything. Tiina Lymi’s fantastic writing and directing, combined with Laura Malmivaara’s portrayal of a strong female character willing to do whatever it takes in a male dominated underworld, is really catching the eye of buyers. We are thrilled to be announcing these deals and looking forward to further discussions at Content London.”
