Frank Spotnitz’s Big Light Co-Producing Scandi Sci-Fi Drama

Frank Spotnitz’s Big Light Productions (Leonardo, The Man in the High Castle) is co-producing Black Spark Film & TV’s upcoming sci-fi drama series We Come in Peace for TV4 and ZDF.

The series comes from creator and writer Lars Lundström (Real Humans) and producer Piodor Gustafsson (Border, The Lamb). We Come in Peace marks Spotnitz’s return to science fiction after writing and executive producing on the sci-fi series The X-Files.

The Scandinavian drama series is Big Light’s first non-English language drama, with Spotnitz and Adrian Banyard serving as executive producers.

We Come in Peace is a grounded sci-fi series that explores the chaos unleashed when a mysterious jellyfish-like object appears in the sky over Stockholm, sparking widespread panic, fear and confusion among the population. Starring Fares Fares (Cairo Conspiracy, Westworld) and Evin Ahmad (Snabba Cash), the show delves into the turmoil and uncertainty that follows this inexplicable phenomenon.

Spotnitz said: “Co-producing We Come in Peace has been a truly meaningful experience. I’ve been approached countless times to get involved with alien sci-fi dramas since The X-Files and always said no. But when I read the pilot for We Come in Peace, I had to say yes. This isn’t just another sci-fi series; it’s compelling, grounded, thought-provoking and deeply human. Bringing this series to life as Big Light’s first Scandinavian and non-English language production has been incredibly rewarding. Lars Lundström, Piodor Gustafsson and Newen Connect have been fantastic partners, and collaborating with them has been a pleasure.”
