Mediapro will develop an original television series with the Finnish public broadcaster YLE

This is the second international co-production series of the audiovisual group after 'The Young Pope' by Paolo Sorrentino.

Mediapro will co-develop an original television series with the Finnish public broadcaster YLE, a project that will bring the “Nordic noir” genre to the Mediterranean. This is the first time that a Spanish production company will work hand in hand with a Finnish channel. The project is being developed by Ran Tellem and David Troncoso of Mediapro, Jarmo Lampela, director of Drama at YLE, and Matti Laine, author of the “noir” genre and one of the scriptwriters of the series. Bordertown say YE.

The Paradise is a dramatic thriller that will take place within the Finnish community based in Fuengirola, Costa del Sol, considered the largest of its kind outside of Scandinavia. The tranquility of this small town will be interrupted by a series of crimes that can only be solved with the collaboration between the police forces of Finland and Spain.

The YLE network has an outstanding track record in the field of co-productions. His latest project, Bordertown, co-produced with Federation Entertainment and Fisher King Productions, recently premiered on YLE, reaching the screens of 26% of the country's population.

For its part, Mediapro has been involved in numerous successful co-productions, including several Woody Allen titles such as Vicky Cristina Barcelona, You will meet the man of your dreams o Midnight in Paris, as well as the series The Young Pope starring Jude Law and co-produced with Sky, HBO and Canal Plus.
