ITV Studios arranges Finnish Threesome

Finland-based VoD and digital TV service Elisa Viihde has commissioned a local version of scripted format Threesome, to be produced by ITV Studios Finland.

Originally produced by Big Talk Productions for Comedy Central in the UK, the format is distributed internationally by ITV Studios Global Entertainment.

Filming on the 10-part Finnish version begins later this month. The plot follows three friends about to turn 30, one of whom falls pregnant after an impromptu threesome with the other two. Faced with a huge responsibility, they decide to bring the baby up as a trio.

Pete Paavolainen, CEO of ITV Studios Finland, said: “We are extremely happy to bring this unique and bold comedy to Finland. Both the themes and the dialogue, which is fresh and modern, are very relevant to a millennial audience, and our cast of comedians – Pamela Tola, Lauri Tilkanen and Eero Ritala – are just brilliant.”

Mike Beale, MD for Nordics and Global Creative Network at ITV Studios, said: “This commission is fantastic news for Pete and his team and we are looking forward to building on it across the region. It is a great example of how we are making our formats work for us across our international territories – not to mention the versatility of Big Talk’s excellent scripted comedy slate.”
