NETFLIX RAMPS-UP THE NORWEGIAN SLATE WITH NEW ORIGINAL SERIES DIRECTED BY HARALD ZWART

Amsterdam - September 7 -- Today, Netflix announced a new untitled Netflix Original Series and ramps-up the Norwegian production slate. The six-episode thriller drama, with a light touch of humour, is the third Netflix title coming from the Norwegian production company Motion Blur. The original series will be directed by internationally renowned Harald Zwart (The Karate Kid, The Pink Panther 2) and is written by up-and-coming writer Petter Holmsen.

The production has just begun in Skarnes, Norway. The Norwegian-language thriller drama series is told over six serialized episodes and features a strong and refreshing new cast that includes Kathrine Thorborg Johansen (Live), Elias Holmsen Sørensen (Odd), Andrée Sørum (Reinert), Kim Fairchild (Judith), Sarah Khorami (Rose) and Terje Strømdahl (Arvid).

Meanwhile, her brother Odd tries to keep the family driven funeral home afloat, but there simply aren't enough people dying in the small Norwegian town of Skarnes. When Live's bloodthirst keeps intensifying she soon realizes that this newfound urge can actually solve her brother's problem.
