In the run up to Series Mania, European network Arte and German public broadcaster NDR have boarded “Helsinki Syndrome,” a contemporary Nordic Noir thriller series headlined by “Vikings…

“Helsinki Syndrome” is the first series jointly produced by Beta Film and leading Finnish production banner Fisher King which is part of the Beta Nordic Entertainment Group.

The eight-part series follows the epic journey of Elias Karo who sets off to reveal the crimes committed by banking officials and the government against his family. Karo kidnaps four renowned journalists at their newspaper’s Helsinki headquarters and forces them to expose those who have wiped out the reputation and possessions of his family and caused the suicide of his father.

“YLE is one of Arte’s first European broadcasters and co-production partners and ‘Helsinki Syndrome’ marks the first TV series in this long-term cooperation, which aims to support Nordic creativity and talents,” said Bernd Mütter, Arte’s programme director. The series is currently in the final phase of shooting and Halonen said the production managed to deliver all scenes as planned during the summer in spite of the pandemic. “We are following strict Covid-19 guidelines and test on a daily basis which allows us to shoot mass riot scenes in reverse,” added Halonen.
