Crime Drama Fallen Commences Production

Fallen, a crime drama from the Swedish label Filmlance and distributed globally by Banijay Rights, has entered into production.

In Fallen, Sofia Helin (The Bridge, Lust) stars as Iris Broman, the new head of the Kalla Fall, a group solving cold cases. Due to a tragedy, she moves into the house of her half-sister Kattis (Hedda Stiernstedt) in a small town, and when she arrives in Skåne, a cold case is revived, turning everything upside down.

Fallen is a co-production between C More, TV4, Film i Skåne and Filmlance, in collaboration with ZDF. It is created and written by Camilla Ahlgren (The Bridge), along with Martin Asphaug and Alex Haridi. The lead director is Linnéa Roxeheim (Portkod), working with Olof Spaak. Filming will take place in Malmö and Ystad and the surrounding area, and the series will launch on C More in 2023.

Helin said: “I always want to work with people who are talented and interesting, as with screenwriter Camilla Ahlgren. It’s brilliant to be reunited in this project, to deepen the creative process and challenge one another in new ways. I discovered Linnéa Roxeheim’s films a few years ago, and working with a director with a talent for fine-tuning human relationships will take this drama and the genre to the next level. I’m looking forward to exploring this new character, the question of guilt and how a person moves on after a trauma.”

Camilla Ahlgren, creator and screenwriter for Filmlance, said: “It is incredibly exciting to be working once again with Sofia Helin, and with Hedda Stiernstedt also on board, this is set to be a high-quality, emotionally tense show that fans will love. Linnéa Roxeheim’s unique directing style is perfect for this deep, character-driven story, exploring if it is possible to move forward in life without answers and how to stop the internal craving for retribution.”
