Kim Cattrall to Play U.S. President in Swedish Crime Series

LONDON: Kim Cattrall (Sex and the City) has joined the cast of the second season of the Swedish crime series Modus.

In the upcoming season, Cattrall takes on the role of the President of the United States, who arrives in Stockholm for a state visit but the trip soon turns out to have unexpected and devastating consequences. Modus is an original series for the Nordic streaming service C More and is broadcast worldwide in countries such as the U.K., Canada, Australia, France, Japan and many others. Season two is currently in production and is due to air this fall.

Modus is distributed by FremantleMedia International.

Cattrall commented: “I am pleased to be joining the Modus production in their second season and am looking forward to spending time in Sweden, a country I have always wanted to visit. As a fan of the great Swedish director, Ingmar Bergman, I look forward to my time here.”

Sandra Harms, producer at Miso Film, said: “We are so proud and happy that Kim has joined the cast of Modus to play the U.S. president—it’s really a dream come true. In a time when no one can keep their eyes off U.S. politics and its implications far beyond America’s borders, Modus season two moves into the international arena. Kim is not only a fantastic actress with great authority but also highly engaged and informed in U.S. politics, which has already added a lot to the character and the story. This season of Modus will be truly magnificent.”

Åsa Sjöberg, the director of content for C More and TV4, added: “With the second season of Modus, it feels amazing to be able to offer viewers such a high-end local drama on an international level. Kim is such a great and talented actress with an impressive resume, and I am confident that she, along with the rest of the cast, will make the new season of Modus something truly special. Furthermore, it’s wonderful to see the potential created when C More and TV4 come together to create high-quality drama.”
