STOCKHOLM: Matrix<\/em> star Keanu Reeves has signed on to star in Viaplay’s first-ever original series, Swedish Dicks<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Reeves appears in a number of episodes in the comedy series starring Peter Stormare (Prison Break<\/em>, Fargo<\/em>) and Johan Glans (a comedian in Sweden). Swedish Dicks is currently shooting in Los Angeles and will premiere exclusively on Viaplay this fall. Swedish Dicks is an American production, produced in collaboration with L.A.-based Viking Brothers Entertainment and Peter Settman\u2019s international production company Brain Academy, a part of MTG-owned nice entertainment group.<\/p>\n

Jakob Mejlhede Andersen, the executive VP and group head of programming and content development at MTG, said: \u201cThe fact that we have such a talented list of stars really reflects the potential of this series and the high quality of the production. The passion from Brain Academy<\/em> and Viking Brothers<\/em> making this fantastic story come to life will make this into a series you don\u2019t want to miss. We are already seeing a lot of interest from other international broadcast and TV companies and look forward to the premiere on Viaplay later this year.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reeves commented: \u201cI\u2019m very happy to be a part of Swedish Dicks<\/em> and I love how progressive the whole show is. The scripts are amazing and it was great to have the opportunity to work with Peter Stormare again.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe show is a great mix of light and dark humor\u2014both silly and smart comedy which makes it a blast to shoot,\u201d said showrunner Peter Settman. \u201cI think the structure of our show with a case in each episode and a longer mystery throughout the whole season will make it the perfect show for the binge watchers on Viaplay.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWith Keanu Reeves joining this incredible cast and crew, I know this series that started out as a passion project will be a smoking hot addition to the American market ,\u201d added Glenn Lund.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
