Petter S. Rosenlund, head writer of NRK\u2019s hit <em>The Heavy Water War<\/em> (<em>Saboteurs<\/em> in the U.K.), is confirmed as head writer. An international writers&#8217; room is currently being set up.<\/p>\n<p>Dramacorp and IRLC are in discussions with additional international broadcast and co-production partners on the series, which is a reboot of Scandinavia\u2019s most successful literary property ever, selling\u00a0more than 10 million copies over the years.<\/p>\n<p>Dramacorp\u2019s Patrick Nebout, whose recent credits include the Franco-Swedish hit thriller <em>Midnight Sun<\/em> for SVT and Canal+, will executive produce the series together with Mia Sohlman, who recently produced SVT\u2019s political thriller <em>Blue Eyes<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Josefine Tengblad, the head of drama at CMore and TV4, said: &#8220;We&#8217;ve been looking for a strong local production with international potential for quite a while now, and with <em>Hamilton<\/em>, we really feel that we found what we&#8217;ve been waiting for. It&#8217;s\u00a0one of the strongest brands in the Nordic countries with a main character that the audience loves. The story also has a theme that shines light on what is going on in our world today.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Nebout\u00a0noted: \u201cThere\u2019s a good reason why the <em>Hamilton<\/em> books are the most popular spy thrillers in Nordic history: they\u2019re inspired works of storytelling. Guillou writes with authority and authenticity, offering escapism that, unlike the James Bond end of the spy-thriller spectrum, is also totally and terrifyingly believable. Given <em>Hamilton<\/em>\u2019s Swedish provenance, we&#8217;re thrilled to have C More and TV4 come on board as our first broadcast partner. But although these stories have their roots in northern Europe, they deal with themes\u2014surveillance, paranoia, deception, the abuse and misuse of power for personal and financial agendas, and the very concrete and collateral effects those have on individuals\u2014that sadly know no borders in our chaotic, connected world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jens Alex, the managing director of IRLC, added: \u201cIRLC has in a short period of time originated and acquired strong brands such as <em>Hamilton<\/em>, the hit-series <em>Crimes of Passion<\/em> and latest, <em>The Great Century<\/em>. We\u2019re excited to team up with Dramacorp and TV4 for this high-concept reboot of such an iconic character and story as <em>Hamilton<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>STOCKHOLM: The Swedish commercial broadcaster TV4\u2019s SVOD service C More has made a two-season commitment to a spy thriller series based on Swedish author Jan Guillou\u2019s best-selling Hamilton books.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":7036,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[738,682,1531],"class_list":["post-7035","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-c-more","tag-dramacorp","tag-irlc","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
