Finland’s Tekele Announces Second Season of Youth Series ‘The Short Fuse’: ‘If The First One Was About Making Friends, The Second Is About Making It Last’ (EXCLUSIVE)


Finland’s Tekele announces second season of youth series ‘The Short Fuse,’ to be directed by Jani Ilomäki

Directed by Jani Ilomäki, also behind police series “Roba,” it will be written by Pilke Salo, Milla Tuokkola and Janne Vanhanen and shot over June-July 2024, eyeing a 2025 release on YLE Areena. According to writer Pilke Salo, the show “deals with tough topics with a lot of heart.” Including love, sexuality and darker aspects of young adulthood. But Helsinki-based Tekele – also behind Series Mania premiere “Transport” – is not giving up on movies just yet, currently developing Aleksi Salmenperä’s “Backstage” – recently presented at Goteborg’s Nordic Film Market – and Ulla Heikkilä’s follow-up to feature debut “Eden.” Under the working title “Summer is Short” [“Sommaren är kort”], it’s produced by her longtime collaborator Marja Pihlaja.
