TV 2 Denmark & Miso Film Greenlight Crime Thriller Co-Pro

The crime thriller Side Effects, starring Josephine Park, has been greenlit by TV 2 Denmark and Miso Film.

The six-episode drama is produced for TV 2 Denmark by Jonas Allen and Peter Bose from Miso Film. Side Effects is written by Lasse Kyed Rasmussen and directed by Jonas Alexander Arnby.

When a dockland security guard is murdered, and a large shipment of pills containing a lethal opioid goes missing, Denmark’s top crime unit, led by Chief Investigator Nora Søby, is pulled in to investigate.

“Side Effects is a crime series rooted in a reality we can no longer ignore,” said Sara Askelöf, senior executive producer at TV 2. “It addresses drug-related crime and addiction as an urgent societal issue. Side Effects combines a realistic investigation with strong personal stakes and aims to engage viewers not only through suspense but through relevance. I look forward to bringing this timely and ambitious series to our audience.”

“Side Effects is a high-end, Nordic Noir crime-thriller depicting the national special crime unit’s systematic and tireless investigation of organized drug-related crime,” said Allen, CEO and producer at Miso Film. “Side Effects uncovers the massive impact of drugs in society on many levels, and the series is both realistic, highly relevant and suspenseful.”
