When a plane is hijacked and Kehlifi is the prime suspect, Bergman realizes that someone may be hiding the truth.<\/p>\n<p>Bergman is brought in by the Swedish Intelligence Agency SAPO and Eden Lundell to help the investigation, but immediately clashes with Lundell. Bergman partners with an investigative journalist and finds that Kehlifi and Lundell may be connected by the mysterious Operation Tennyson. She must get to the truth before the plane meets its fate.<\/p>\n<p><em>Hostage<\/em> is co-produced by Swedish K\u00e4rnfilm AB and Belgian Lunanime. It is directed by Karin Fahl\u00e9n and produced by Martina St\u00f6hr.

It unites the suspense of a unique hostage-taking situation and a main character on the pursuit of justice in a seemingly unjust world. The cast is very well chosen, and Liv Mj\u00f6nes is performing outstandingly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fahl\u00e9n of K\u00e4rnfilm added: \u201cI\u2019m hoping this is a story that can appeal to a broad audience on different levels, both to entertain and to reflect. We want to challenge peoples\u2019 preconceptual ideas of the reasons behind terror acts other than the obvious religious and political ones. We have told this story from a different perspective to show that things are more complex than they seem.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Global Screen, a Telepool brand, has picked up Hostage, a sequel to Stockholm Requiem, for worldwide distribution outside the Nordics and Benelux.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1412,"featured_media":17724,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[235,4692,5221],"class_list":["post-17723","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-global-screen","tag-karnfilm","tag-lunanime","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Global Screen Acquires Hostage - TVDRAMA<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/global-screen-acquires-hostage\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Global Screen Acquires Hostage - TVDRAMA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Global Screen, a Telepool brand, has picked up Hostage, a sequel to Stockholm Requiem, for worldwide distribution outside the Nordics and Benelux.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/global-screen-acquires-hostage\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVDRAMA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2022-10-19T06:00:40+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2022-10-19T06:15:02+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2017\/07\/GlobalScreen-Hostage-1022-1.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"337\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Jamie Stalcup\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Jamie Stalcup\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/global-screen-acquires-hostage\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/global-screen-acquires-hostage\/\",\"name\":\"Global Screen Acquires Hostage - TVDRAMA\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2022-10-19T06:00:40+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2022-10-19T06:15:02+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#\/schema\/person\/0da12602224807cc7b179b8405018deb\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/global-screen-acquires-hostage\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/global-screen-acquires-hostage\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/global-screen-acquires-hostage\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Global Screen Acquires Hostage\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/\",\"name\":\"TVDRAMA\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#\/schema\/person\/0da12602224807cc7b179b8405018deb\",\"name\":\"Jamie Stalcup\",\"description\":\"Jamie Stalcup is the executive editor of World Screen.
