The crime show All the Sins has been re-commissioned by Finland’s leading SVOD platform Elisa Viihde and Honour by NENT group’s streamer Viaplay.

Produced by MRP Matila Röhr Productions, season 2 of the crime drama All the Sins from show-runner Mika Ronkainen will start filming in January 2020. Set again in the deeply religious Laestadian community in Varjakka, northern Finland, the show will go back 20 years in time.

Police inspector Jussi Ritola (Matti Ristinen) is asked to investigate the case of a married couple found dead in their kitchen. The series will premiere on Elisa Viihde in the fall 2020.

Season 1 was a small hit with Finnish viewers and on the festival circuit. The series co-written by Mika Ronkainen and Merja Aakko won the Nordisk Film & TV Fond Prize-Best Nordic Screenplay in Göteborg earlier this year; it will next screen at Lübeck’s Nordic Film Days and at the Cottbus Film Festival in Germany, where viewers will be invited to binge all six episodes.

Internationally, the series sold to 30 territories by Sky Vision (now folded into NBCUniversal Distribution), such as the US, the UK, France, Spain, Austria, Switzerland, Germany, Belgium, Korea and New Zealand.

Meanwhile the Swedish legal drama Honour (Heder) created by Sofia Helin, Alexandra Rapaport, Anja Lundqvist and Julia Dufvenius, will start filming in the spring 2020 for Bigster and NENT Group.

In season 2 the four female partners at Stockholm law firm played by Rapaport, Dufvenius, Lundqvist and Eva Röse, intensify their struggle on behalf of society’s most exploited and disadvantaged people. But the ideals that brought them together are increasingly brought into question by adversity, guilt and above all, a deadly shared secret.

The returning season will premiere exclusively on NENT Group’s Nordic streamer in 2021. Season1 had a record opening weekend for an original Viaplay show.

Honour is represented at MIPCOM by Eccho Rights.
