The series centers on a surgeon desperately seeking to find a cure for his dying wife in an underground station and the Doomsday \u2018prepper\u2019 and civil anarchist who brings him a growing number of off-grid patients. Hera Pictures plans to relocate the drama to London, with actor Mark Strong (<em>Kingsmen<\/em>, <em>Tinker Tailor<\/em>) taking on the lead role.<\/p>\n<p>Marshall said: \u201cI compulsively watched this series in one sitting. It is one of the smartest, most gripping and unusual dramas I have seen for a long time. It will work brilliantly set in London in this age of political uncertainty and social unrest.\u00a0<em>Valkyrien<\/em> couldn\u2019t be more timely.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Strong commented: \u201cThe concept of the series is both intriguing and highly original and the characters are all fascinatingly complex. It\u2019s a privilege to have the opportunity to bring the English-language version to the screen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Laurent Boissel, joint CEO and co-founder of About Premium Content, added: \u201c<em>Valkyrien<\/em> is so topical, contemporary and original and we have received incredible interest from U.S. and U.K. broadcasters, producers and agents. Tordenfilm and APC are delighted to entrust the English-language remake to Liza Marshall who, we are confident, will deliver an ambitious show with Mark Strong attached in the lead role.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Liza Marshall\u2019s newly launched indie Hera Pictures has landed the English-language rights for the Norwegian drama Valkyrien.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":7710,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[1849,1466],"class_list":["post-7709","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-hera-pictures","tag-valkyrien","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
