Shooting of Keihäsmatkat began in July–August 2019 and the series was shot during autumn 2019 in Finland and Turkey.[2]

Publication of the series on television offended Keihänen's family, who felt it was an insult to his memory. The family has asked that the series should not be shown on television and according to newspaper articles, the family is considering taking legal action against the producers.[4]
