NENT Group Sets Red Election Drama

Nordic Entertainment Group (NENT Group) has lined up as its next original drama Red Election, starring Stephen Dillane (Game of Thrones), Lydia Leonard (Gentleman Jack) and James D’Arcy (Broadchurch).

The series is set against the backdrop of a terrorist plot in London. Danish secret service agent Katrine and British intelligence agent Beatrice team up in a desperate race against time.

Red Election is distributed globally by A+E Networks International and produced by Sweden’s Mopar Studios. It will premiere exclusively on NENT Group’s Viaplay streaming service in 2021.

Filippa Wallestam, NENT Group’s chief content officer, said: “The stakes couldn’t be higher in this tense and absorbing story of international intrigue with a truly stellar cast. At the same time, the complex relationship between the two lead characters gives the series a very human center. Red Election is NENT Group’s latest spectacular international co-production that shows how quickly our storytelling is moving to the global stage.”
