GRO Studios & Three River Fiction Ready Nordic Noir ‘Reyna’ In Unusual UK-Faroese Co-Pro Pairing
deadline.comEXCLUSIVE: The Faroe Islands’ GRÓ Studios and the UK’s Three River Fiction are bringing a crime thriller, Reyna, to Series Mania next week.
Based on an original idea from UK writer Chris Ould, the series will follow a British detective, Jan Reyna, whose family ties to the Faroe Islands draw him back to the country.
It’s being billed as “a Nordic noir crime thriller through a fresh and unconventional British-Faroese lens.” Plot details are scarce, but it will involve themes of identity, genealogy, biotech and generational trauma, alongside thriller tropes and the rugged beauty and haunting atmosphere of the Faroe Islands.
Casting will be unveiled at a later date. London-based Three River Fiction is known for BBC and Virgin Media Television drama series Dead and Buried, which starred Annabel Scholey and Colin Morgan, while the Faroe Islands’ GRÓ Studios is a joint venture between creator, writer and executive producer Torfinnur Jákupsson and producer Jón Hammer.
