Did you think you knew how Pirunpeli works? This fall, you will know you were wrong. Pirunpeli takes viewers on a journey where the only thing certain is uncertainty. Pirunpeli is a social and psychological survival competition that captivated viewers during the first season with its surprising and unfair twists and turns. The second season starts with a bang in the familiar yet completely renovated house. In the new arena, the players compete against each other in games and decide each other’s destiny by voting.

Suomen älyttömin julkkis is a competition that no one wants to win – an absurd quiz in which 10 bright and lovable celebrities try to avoid feeling foolish and earning the title of Suomen älyttömin julkkis in every episode. The celebrity contestants are put to the test on things that they should be able to do, but which are not always so easy. There is a wide range of tasks and ways of completing them. Every celebrity really has to put their brains to the test as they take on the challenges ahead. At the same time, we get to take a closer look at their thinking and find that there are as many ways of approaching problem solving – and life in general – as there are contestants. At the end of each episode, the best performing celebrity gets to go home – while the others continue in the competition. The hit show, which is rapidly growing in popularity around the world, has already been filmed in ten countries and is breaking viewer records across Europe. The internationally awarded Norwegian format, which is superior in its target groups, combines humor and competition in a way that has already captivated millions of viewers. The hosts will be the definitely most surprising – and absurd – duo this fall: MTV’s former news anchor Keijo Leppänen and Niko Saarinen.

Jaakko Saariluoma will, of course, play the role of Suurmestari, aided by the excellent judge Pilvi Hämäläinen. There will be brilliant insights, outrageous failures and a contestant who will make the first and toughest COMEBACK in the history of Suurmestari!
