The series took home the Winner title in the DIRECTOR category, celebrating the exceptional vision and creativity of writer-director Tiina Lymi. Additionally, the series received a Nomination in the SERIES category, representing Finland’s national broadcaster Yle.
Queen of Fucking Everything is a bold, genre-defying drama known for its dark humour, unpredictable storytelling and unique perspective. Premiering on Yle Areena on January 1, 2025, and later on Yle TV1, the series quickly became a national phenomenon. It shattered viewership records by reaching over 10 million unique starts in its first month – a staggering feat in a country of 5.5 million – making it the most-watched series of all time on Yle Areena.
Created, written, and directed by Tiina Lymi, one of Finland’s most celebrated filmmakers, the series showcases her remarkable talent for emotional depth, sharp dialogue, and powerful character work. Her background in both theatre and film has helped shape a series that resonates deeply with both audiences and critics.
