Matias Varela (Narcos<\/em>) is set to co-star alongside Julia Ragnarsson (Spring River<\/em>,\u00a0Vikings<\/em>) in Blinded<\/em> (Fartblinda<\/em>), all3media international\u2019s first Scandinavian drama.<\/p>\n

The series follows young journalist Bea Farkas (Ragnarsson) who, in pursuit of the next scoop, detects irregularities in the ST Bank’s trading department, where Peder Rooth (Varela) is the CEO. Bea may pay a high price in pursuit of the truth.<\/p>\n

The 8×1-hour series is based on the books by economics journalist Carolina Neurath. It will premiere on C More and TV4 in Scandinavia, where it will be known as Fartblinda<\/em>. Blinded<\/em> is the international title.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe audience will experience Fartblinda<\/em> as a fresh series, something out of the ordinary,\u201d said Ragnarsson. \u201cI feel humble and grateful for this mission. But it’s always a bit nervous to take on such a big task. We have not seen any thriller that takes place in this environment in Sweden before.\u201d<\/p>\n

Varela added: \u201cIt’s going to be incredibly fun to do Fartblinder<\/em>\/Blinded<\/em>. Getting to work with Julia for the first time is such a wonderful opportunity. In a way, it feels like coming home\u2014I started my career as a guy on TV4 and have been away from Sweden in recent years.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lisa Dahlberg, executive producer, commented: \u201cJulia Ragnarsson and Matias Varela are a dream duo! They are two truly outstanding actors. Under the direction of Jens Jonsson and Johan Lundin, Fartblinda<\/em>\/Blinded<\/em> will be an amazing television series!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
