The two actors will play FBI agents in the crime drama currently filming in Norway for production houses Cinenord (Norway) and The Good Company (Denmark).

Carrie-Anne Moss (The Matrix, Memento) and Richie Campbell (The Frankenstein Chronicles) star against Sven Nordin (Valkyrien) in the 10x45 series co-written by Trygve Allister Diesen (The Third Eye) and Katrine Valen Zeiner (Eyewitness) based on two novels in the Wisting series, written by Jørn Lier Horst. Trygve Allister Diesen also directs with Katarina Launing (Kick It!).

The high-end series budgeted at NOK 115 million (€11.9m) is produced for Viaplay, TV3 Norway and German broadcaster ARD Degeto, with support from the Norwegian Film Institute. Banijay Rights handles world distribution.

Carrie-Anne Moss said: “To be a part of something with this kind of calibre is exciting for me. Characters and stories created through the lens of Scandinavia’s expert perspective, alongside working with actors such as Sven Nordin, make this a thrilling project for me. Plus, it made watching the Winter Olympics even more fun!”

In the series, Sven Nordin plays homicide detective William Wisting as he wrestles with the most challenging case of his career: a wanted American serial killer living among them.

Meanwhile, Line - Wisting’s intrepid journalist daughter – is chasing headlines, leading her straight into the path of the serial killer. Suddenly, an old case comes back to haunt Wisting, and a dreadful accusation is hurled at him. How will Wisting save other lives when he finds himself suspended and fighting for his own reputation, career and life?

The series will premiere on the Scandinavian streaming service Viaplay and flagship entertainment channel TV3 Norway early 2019, and later on TV3 Sweden.
