MTG Studios Plots New Series Veni Vidi Vici

STOCKHOLM: MTG Studios is prepping the new series Veni Vidi Vici, working with the Nordic talents Thomas Bo Larsen, Rafael Edholm and Livia Millhagen together with Canadian actor Michael Wincott.

Jakob Mejlhede, MTG’s executive VP and head of programming and content development, said: “This is our edgiest original series so far and a milestone on our journey to become the Nordic region’s leading producer of original content. There’s a huge appetite for complex drama, and Veni Vidi Vici will be a captivating experience for both Nordic and international audiences.”

The ten-part drama is about struggling Danish film director Karstan Daugaard’s decision to take a job in the adult entertainment industry. Daugaard, played by Larsen (The Celebration, Follow the Money), is confronted with the industry’s darkest aspects and forced into a double life that endangers his whole family. The series is written by Rafael Edholm and Santiago Gil (Love is a Drug), with Edholm as producer. Production starts in late 2016 with a planned debut exclusively on Viaplay across the Nordic region in spring 2017.
