New Nordic Noir Veronika Coming to North America

Viaplay has slated the North American debut of the Swedish-language Nordic noir series Veronika for August 20.

Starring Alexandra Rapaport (The Sandhamn Murders, Honour, No Time to Mourn) and Tobias Santelmann (The Fortress, Darkness: Those Who Kill, Exit), the eight-part psychological thriller follows police officer Veronika Gren as she deals with addiction, family troubles, a murder investigation and visions of unsolved crime victims.

As she tries to figure out if the visions are real or just in her head, the people around her start to question her sanity. Her husband grows more worried about her behavior, and her partner and captain question her fitness for duty.

The series is created and scripted by Katja Juras and Anna Ströman Lindblom, writers of No Time to Mourn/Gåsmamman. It is directed by Jonas Alexander Arnby (War of the Worlds, Darkness: Those Who Kill).

In North America, Veronika will be available in Swedish with English subtitles.
