The six-part series, set in 1983, takes place amid escalating Cold War paranoia and follows Captain Diane Goodman, a U.S. Military Police investigator, and MP Sarah Ellis, both stationed at the NATO base in Keflavik, when an American soldier is found dead under suspicious circumstances outside the base.<\/p>\n<p><em>Top of the Rock<\/em> was created by \u00d3lafsson and J\u00f3n Atli J\u00f3nasson and co-created by Ragnar J\u00f3nsson. The series was produced by Kristinn Thordarson, \u00d3lafsson and \u00c1g\u00fast Freyr Ingason, with Truenorth\u2019s CEO and founder Leifur B. Dagfinnsson serving as executive producer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEarly on, we knew the role of Sarah Ellis would need to be someone with a formidable screen presence,\u201d said \u00d3lafsson. \u201cAnna Chlumsky\u2019s ability to switch between genres is like no other, and she absolutely embodies every character she\u2019s played across her phenomenal career.
