Rabbit Films is delighted to announce that we continue to expand our drama offerings following the success of Queen of Fucking Everything, Mobile 101, and Summer of Sorrow.

We are excited to present, and distribute globally, the Elisa Viihde original series All the Best Girls (8 x 45′) — Rabbit Films’ new crime-driven mystery drama series, premiering in Finland on 1 December 2025 and worldwide 3 December at Content London. The series is commissioned by Elisa and produced by Rabbit Films in co-production with FIFF and Aurora Studios.

Set in the late 1980s, 16-year-old Lola moves to Helsinki’s Munkkivuori after escaping her uncle. Poor and magnetic, she quickly disrupts local teen cliques and befriends Nina, who takes her in. Their summer is filled with parties and dreams of a trip, but Lola hides a secret job. Tensions rise when she comes between Nina and her boyfriend Pete, and Lola mysteriously disappears. Initially thought to have run away with a band, her abandoned belongings in the forest hint at something far darker.

All the Best Girls unfolds across two timelines: the summer of Lola’s arrival and the following autumn after her disappearance. Past and present echo and reveal each other, building suspense and keeping viewers hooked with unanswered questions and shocking twists.

The premiere week of All the Best Girls concludes with an international showcase: Rabbit Films and Elisa present the world premiere of the first episode at Content London Screening on Wednesday, 3.12, 13:15, HALL 3 (Kings Place, 90 York Way, London), followed by a Q&A with series director Saara Saarela and Rabbit Films Head of Drama Minna Haapkylä

Rabbit Films CEO and Executive Producer of the series Olli Suominen says, “All the Best Girls is a captivating drama-crime-mystery told from the perspective of teenagers, balancing the lightness of summer with the darkness beneath the surface. Its nostalgic 1980s setting, fractured friendships, and dual-timeline storytelling create an intimate yet suspenseful world. We are proud of the series and, with our partners at Elisa, excited to share the first episode at Content London.”

ALL STAR HIDE AND SEEK

Game Show | 6 x 30 mins
Troot for Nelonen Finland, distributed outside of Finland by Rabbit

All Star Hide and Seek began as a viral YouTube phenomenon, capturing millions of young viewers. From there, it grew into a hit series on one of Finland’s biggest streaming services. And now, it returns for a second season – bigger, bolder, and breaking into primetime television!

All Star Hide and Seek takes the classic game of hide and seek to an entirely new level. Hosted by one of the nation’s biggest YouTubers, five celebrities face off in the ultimate hiding challenge. Every week, the host is the seeker, and the stars do whatever it takes to stay hidden. But the seeker has aces up his sleeve: a drone in the sky, a thermal camera in the dark, even a five-second location reveal that changes the game instantly. Each episode takes place in a brand-new and spectacular location: can you vanish inside a rollercoaster at a buzzing amusement park? Can you disappear in the haystacks of a giant farm?

Every week, one player outsmarts the seeker. And in the grand finale, all winners return for one last showdown – with one celebrity crowned the ultimate champion and walking away with a cash prize. From viral sensation to primetime hit, All Star Hide and Seek is the family show the whole nation is watching!

TAILS FROM THE TRAILS

Entertainment | 6 x 30 mins
NTRNZ Creative for Yle Finland, distributed outside of Finland by Rabbit

What happens when a modern-day celebrity, used to life’s comforts, is taken deep into the wilderness, far from Wi-Fi, velvet sofas and flat whites? Fortunately, they’re not going alone. Along for the journey is their own loyal dog, and waiting for them in the wild is a seasoned outdoor expert, joined by his equally trusted canine companion.

Tails from the Trails is a unique outdoor adventure format where two humans and two dogs spend an unforgettable minibreak immersed in nature. Led by the calm presence of the host, the celebrity guest takes on light outdoor challenges, cooks by the fire, and opens up in honest conversation.

With dogs breaking the ice and nature doing the rest, each episode captures a rare mix of simplicity, connection and surprise. Together, they walk the trails, share stories, and discover that sometimes it’s the smallest moments — a shared meal, a quiet path, a muddy pawprint — that leave the biggest mark.

At its core, Tails from the Trails is about slowing down, opening up, and seeing a new side of the beautiful nature, and the guests.

THE UNUSUAL REPORT

Entertainment | 10 x 30 mins
Kevin & Co for TVNZ New Zealand, distributed outside of Australia/New Zealand by Rabbit

In this comedic travel / satirical format, a comedian goes in search of ordinary people who have made headlines in quirky, unusual ways — as viral memes, local community stories or on social media.

In each episode, our slightly underqualified but well-meaning host ventures into small towns to investigate bizarre, unnecessary, or deeply important local stories — often all three at once. The goal? Solve the problem, become a local legend, and ideally, not get run out of town!

Outrageous, offbeat and hilarious, the show balances humour with genuine warmth, showcasing small-town charm and unforgettable characters you won’t find anywhere else.

This uniquely irreverent format offers an insightful yet absurdly amusing look at the weird and wonderful side of life in different countries! Four consecutive seasons produced by Kevin & Co for Three New Zealand (WBD), with season five in production.

The Venice TV Award jury praised the series for its emotional resonance and compelling storytelling, stating:

“Queen of Fucking Everything resonates on a very personal level, bringing together strong performances and storytelling that truly connect.”

Rabbit Films CEO and Executive Producer Olli Suominen commented:

“Tiina Lymi’s visionary work really paid off, and we are super proud of this boundary-breaking series that became such a massive hit. The series has been picked up in over ten territories with more to come – and we are also thrilled to be working on the second season already.”

Season 9 of Över Atlanten, the Swedish adaptation of Rabbit Films’ original format Over the Atlantic, premiered on Kanal 5 Sweden (WBD) on Tuesday, September 2nd, drawing an impressive 416,000 total viewers and a 21.6% share in the key 25–69 demographic. This marks the highest share for a local Swedish production on Kanal 5 in 16 years! Over the Atlantic was also easily the evening’s linear TV slot winner, as well as the most-watched series on the entire HBO Max in Sweden.

Over the Atlantic is an epic adventure reality series where a group of celebrities, with no prior sailing experience, must cross the Atlantic Ocean together. The journey is filled with thrilling challenges and unforgettable moments — but also becomes a profound voyage of self-discovery.

To celebrate the show’s continued success, Kanal 5 has also officially commissioned Season 10. Last week, a new crew of six celebrities set sail from Gran Canaria, aiming to reach Salvador, Brazil later this month. Season 10 is scheduled to air on Kanal 5 Sweden and HBO Max in spring 2026. Över Atlanten is produced by Mastiff Sweden (Banijay).

“I think this might be the first-ever Season 10 of any format in my career so far! I’m so happy and proud that this milestone was reached with Over the Atlantic Sweden. It has been an absolute pleasure working with Kanal 5 and Mastiff, and watching our format thrive year after year,” commented Jonathan Tuovinen, SVP International at Rabbit Films.

The original version, Atlantin yli, premiered on TV5 Finland (WBD) in 2017, followed shortly by the first international adaptation on Kanal 5 Denmark (WBD). The Swedish version has been a continuous hit since 2019, now airing two seasons per year. Other international adaptations include the Netherlands (RTL), Belgium (Play4), Poland (TVN), and Norway (TVNorge).

The Most Endangered Species
Factual Entertainment, 8 x 60 mins

An epic travel series featuring the world’s most fascinating endangered animals. A nature enthusiast travels together with a witty comedian to the outermost corners of the world to get acquainted with the protection of endangered animals and even to see a glimpse of these rare species. But funny.

The New Zealand version focuses on endangered animals in various locations in just New Zealand only, unlike the original Finnish version which travelled around to various locations across the world. We are open to both versions but have garnered more interest in partnerships with conservation groups in New Zealand with a domestic version. Also, S2 of the NZ version is beating Married at First Sight Australia which we like to think is nature healing itself ;)!
