‘The Investigation’ Producer Miso Film Turns 20 With Packed Slate, Including ‘Uniform,’ DR’s New Crime Series Starring ‘Face to Face,’ ‘The Guilty’ Actors (EXCLUSIVE)
variety.comElsa Keslassy International Correspondent In a tough Nordic market that is slowing recovering from the downfall of Viaplay and streamers scaling back on commissions, Miso Film, the Fremantle-owned Nordic powerhouse behind Tobias Lindholm’s “The Investigation” and “Those Who Kill,” isn’t just hanging in there; it’s thriving.
The banner is still helmed by its founding duo Peter Bose and Jonas Allen, who have produced a flurry of iconic series, including “Beck” and “Wallander,” as well as “Those Who Kill,” “Dicte” and “1864.” They’re now celebrating Miso Film‘s 20th anniversary with a packed slate of high-end shows and films featuring top Scandinavian talent.
Miso recently premiered Tomas Alfredson’s “Faithless,” an adaptation of Ingmar Bergman’s movie, in competition at Toronto Film Festival, and they’re now six-episode series based on Linn Ullmann’s bestselling novel “The Cold Song” and “Royal Blood,” a sprawling historical project set in 1807 when royal families clashed across Denmark-Norway and Sweden.
The latest title to join their production roster, “Uniform,” is a six-part primetime crime series commissioned by Danish broadcaster that will be entirely directed by Janus Metz (“Armadillo,””True Detective”), and was penned by Oscar Giese (“2 Days”) and Anders August (“Follow The Money”).
