The highly-anticipated final episode of The Traitors, the popular Finnish show, has been put on hold following the tragic news of contestant Jaane Puhakka's murder. Puhakka, who was Finland's first openly gay ice hockey player, was found dead in his home on Sunday evening. The news has shocked the nation and left fans of the show in mourning.
According to reports, Puhakka's partner, Rolf Nordmo, confessed to killing him with a shotgun after the couple had broken up a few weeks ago. Puhakka, who was only 29 years old, had been a contestant on the second season of The Traitors, which is hosted by actor and comedian Christoffer Strandberg and airs on Nelonen.
In light of the devastating news, the network has announced that the finale episode will be postponed indefinitely. Nelonen released a statement on social media, explaining that they believe it is not the right time to air the episode and that they will revisit the possibility of showing it at a later date. They also expressed their condolences to Puhakka's loved ones.
The post also included translations for non-Finnish speakers, stating that the final episode was originally scheduled to air this week. Fans have responded to the news, with many agreeing that it is the appropriate decision, while others have suggested airing the episode with a tribute to Puhakka.
It has been reported that the second season of The Traitors was filmed in February and March of this year, and Puhakka was still in the running as a contestant at the time of his death. The show has featured other notable Finnish personalities, such as drag artist Cristal Snow, radio and TV personality Jone Nikula, and rapper Dan Tolppanen.
The death of Puhakka has sparked an outpouring of tributes, including one from former Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin, who shared a picture with a broken heart emoji. Puhakka made headlines in 2019 when he came out as gay, becoming the first Finnish ice hockey player to speak openly about his sexuality.
The tragic turn of events has left many wondering about the fate of the final episode of The Traitors. For now, the show's future remains uncertain, but one thing is for sure - Puhakka will be deeply missed by his loved ones and the entire nation.
