Nordic Entertainment Group (NENT Group) has set Furia as its next original production, created by International Emmy winner Gjermund Stenberg Eriksen (Mammon).

In Furia, a killing in an idyllic Norwegian town leads police investigator Asgeir (Pål Sverre Hagen; Beforeigners) to undercover cop Ragna (Ine Marie Willmann; Exit), as she infiltrates a nationalistic subculture. The drama explores the violent and disturbing world of right-wing extremism.

Filmed in Norway, the series will premiere exclusively across the Nordic region on NENT Group’s Viaplay streaming service in 2021. It is co-produced by Norway’s Monster Scripted (Nobel, For Life) and Germany’s X Filme Creative Pool (Babylon Berlin) and public broadcaster ZDF, and the drama is distributed globally by Keshet International.

Filippa Wallestam, NENT Group’s chief content officer, said: “It’s uncommon to see a female lead character who appears to be driven by such extreme rage as Ragna, which makes her a grimly fascinating focus for this complex and topical series. Furia explores some of the most disturbing subjects of any Viaplay original yet—this is noir from a truly dark place. We have brought together an incredible lineup of Norwegian talent to tell an ambitious story that will engage and unsettle streaming audiences across the Nordic region and beyond.”
