Nordic Entertainment Group (NENT Group) and Filmlance International, a Banijay company, have aligned with The Astrid Lindgren Company to adapt Ronja the Robber\u2019s Daughter<\/em> into a Viaplay original family fantasy series.<\/p>\n

Ronja the Robber\u2019s Daughter<\/em> is among the best-known books by Astrid Lindgren, whose work has been translated into over 100 languages and sold more than 165 million copies. Ronja<\/em> follows the adventures of a young girl born into a band of robbers in a medieval Scandinavian fortress.<\/p>\n

The Bridge<\/em> creator Hans Rosenfeldt is penning the adaptation, and Lisa James Larsson (Victoria<\/em>) is directing.<\/p>\n

The series will premiere exclusively on NENT Group\u2019s Viaplay streaming service from 2023, with 12 episodes across two seasons.<\/p>\n

Filippa Wallestam, NENT Group’s chief content officer, said: \u201cRonja\u2019s confidence and complexity make her one of my all-time favorite characters. This classic story of a strong and independent girl was always far ahead of its time, and its themes of friendship, closeness to nature and questioning one\u2019s assumptions are so relevant today. It is a privilege to work with such a top-class creative team to bring Ronja<\/em>\u00a0to Viaplay viewers around the world, and this project shows just how quickly our ambitions are growing. For a Nordic storyteller like NENT Group, adapting an Astrid Lindgren work is as big as it gets.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cilla Nerg\u00e5rdh, CEO of The Astrid Lindgren Company, added: \u201cArtistic quality is the number one priority for The Astrid Lindgren Company. We always strive to partner with the best creators, just as Astrid Lindgren did in her time. We have worked closely with the creative team on this project and have no doubt that this new version of Ronja the Robber\u2019s Daughter<\/em>\u00a0will fully live up to our high ambitions.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mattias Arehn and Bonnie Skoog Feeney, producers for Filmlance, said: \u201cWe\u2019ve grown up with Ronja just like so many others, and we are extremely proud and humbled by this huge undertaking. The story of Ronja is a timeless story about the struggles to find your own place in the world, go your own way and be your own person. All of this in a world that is complicated, dangerous, but also wonderful and magical. With the huge support we have received from NENT Group, we want to produce a series that is an epic and thrilling adventure, an homage to nature, for the entire family.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
