Ture Sventon Detective Series for TV4 & C More

Nordisk Film TV Sweden is working on the production of Ture Sventon och Bermudtriangelns hemlighet (Ture Sventon and the Secret of the Bermuda Triangle) for TV4 and C More.

Based on Åke Holmberg’s classic novels, the new six-part series will star Robert Gustafsson as Ture Sventon, the eccentric private detective inspired by Sherlock Holmes. The new series promises a modern twist to the character devised in the 1940s, marking the return of the flamboyant and daring mystery solver with a lisp, false beard and passion for hot cross buns.

Ture Sventon will be produced by Nordisk Film TV Sweden with support from the Norrköping Film Fund. It will hit screens later this year.

Gustafsson commented: “The expectations high since Ture is such a beloved character, but I look forward to adding my own twist on the character which I hope will bring both surprise and satisfaction to all fans out there.”

Ulf Synnerholm, production manager for TV4 and C More, said: “Ture Sventon och Bermudtriangelns hemlighet becomes our first family drama and we could not imagine a better project for the job. The combination of Per Simonsson and Stefan Roos with the brilliant Robert Gustafsson guarantee this will be a fabulously exciting adventure for the whole family to enjoy at C More and TV4 later this year. ”

Kristoffer Graci, managing director of Nordisk Film TV Sweden, added: “We are so happy to work with TV4 and C More on recreating this family classic. In this new adaption we are all looking forward to taking the storytelling further as we explore the next stage of this character’s journey within a modern setting.”
