The victims, however, are carefully chosen\u2014they are sexual offenders who have evaded punishment.<\/p>\n<p>A detective and an investigative journalist set out to solve the series of mysterious crimes. The story is told from their point of view, as well as from the perspective of the assailant, who sees himself as an agent of justice.<\/p>\n<p>The writers\u2019 room is led by Darri \u00d3lafsson and includes actress An\u00edta Briem (<em>As Long as We Live<\/em>), Anna Gunnd\u00eds Gu\u00f0mundsd\u00f3ttir and Teitur Magn\u00fasson.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are excited to partner with ACT4 on the adaptation of Sk\u00fali Sigurdsson\u2019s brilliantly crafted novel,\u201d said Yi Yiao, Director Drama at ZDF Studios. \u201cThe characters, the storytelling from two different points of view and the heightened suspense as the plot unfolds makes for a chilling, binge-worthy drama.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Darri \u00d3lafsson said, \u201cAs a crime fiction, the tale of<em> Big Brother<\/em> is thrilling and brutal, a very suspenseful narrative. It rises above its genre as it poses a difficult question for our society: Someone is taking it upon himself to punish sexual offenders when our justice system fails. Gradually his actions become more brutal and he starts killing his victims. Who do we side with, the self-proclaimed warrior of justice or the people who are trying to catch a murderer?\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ZDF Studios has partnered with ACT4 to develop the new Nordic thriller Big Brother, based on Sk\u00fali Sigurdsson\u2019s award-winning debut novel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1412,"featured_media":20899,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[9143,9144,9145,9146,9147,4932],"class_list":["post-20898","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-act4","tag-big-brother","tag-olafur-darri-olafsson","tag-skuli-sigurdsson","tag-yi-yiao","tag-zdf-studios","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>ZDF Studios Teams with ACT4 for Crime Thriller Big Brother - 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\/zdf-studios-teams-with-act4-for-crime-thriller-big-brother\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"ZDF Studios Teams with ACT4 for Crime Thriller Big Brother - TVDRAMA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"ZDF Studios has partnered with ACT4 to develop the new Nordic thriller Big Brother, based on Sk\u00fali Sigurdsson\u2019s award-winning debut novel.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/zdf-studios-teams-with-act4-for-crime-thriller-big-brother\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVDRAMA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2024-06-04T13:57:26+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2024-06-04T13:57:30+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2024\/06\/ZDFStudios-BigBrother-0624.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"640\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"394\" \/>\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\/zdf-studios-teams-with-act4-for-crime-thriller-big-brother\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/zdf-studios-teams-with-act4-for-crime-thriller-big-brother\/\",\"name\":\"ZDF Studios Teams with ACT4 for Crime Thriller Big Brother - TVDRAMA\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2024-06-04T13:57:26+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2024-06-04T13:57:30+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#\/schema\/person\/0da12602224807cc7b179b8405018deb\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/zdf-studios-teams-with-act4-for-crime-thriller-big-brother\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/zdf-studios-teams-with-act4-for-crime-thriller-big-brother\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/zdf-studios-teams-with-act4-for-crime-thriller-big-brother\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"ZDF Studios Teams with ACT4 for Crime Thriller Big Brother\"}]},{\"@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.
