Cannes — Studiocanal, Europe’s biggest TV-film production-distribution-sales company, owned by Vivendi’s Canal Plus Group, has closed international sales on Danish family relationship drama “Ride Upon the Storm,” a flagship title in Studiocanal’s drive into high-end European drama series.
Adam Price’s follow-up to “Borgen,” “Ride Upon the Storm,” starring Lars Mikkelsen (“House of Cards”), has been acquired by a broad gamut of TV operators from South African pay TV network M-Net Africa, to public broadcasters such as Tvnz for New Zealand and Rte Eire, as well as Sbs Australia, which has a strong line in foreign-language series.
Further buyers include Lumière Benelux, Rtvs Slovakia, Nc+ in Poland; and Lrt Lithuania. Studiocanal sold the drama to Telefonica’s Movistar + in Spain; upscale European broadcaster Arte has rights to French and German-speaking Europe. Danish pubcaster Dr, which lead-produced the drama with Arte France and Sam le Français, aired “Ride Upon the Storm” from September.

Sara Lund-style knitwear and interviews with stars from Borgen and The Bridge boost popular event celebrating Nordic noir
Patterned knitwear and yellow fisherman jackets appeared en masse in a chilly warehouse in east London this weekend, as 2,500 fans of the Scandinavian crime genre attended Nordicana, a two-day convention dedicated to the culture of emotionally detached detectives investigating murders among minimalist furniture and grey skies.

The show's co-stars Kim Bodnia and Sofia Helin, who play the lead detectives Martin Rohde and Saga Norén, fielded questions from a packed hall of fans. "No character has ever affected me in so many ways as Saga," said Helin...

Four major Scandinavian TV series have made big critical and commercial impacts overseas - "The Killing," "The Bridge," "Wallander" and "Borgen". The first three have since seen remakes of generally lesser quality by AMC, FX and The BBC respectively.
Now, HBO has negotiated a deal with BBC Worldwide to create an American version of the fourth. Camilla Hammerich, the producer of the Danish TV political drama "Borgen," revealed the news though says that nothing has been formally announced at this point.
The original "Borgen" tells the fictional story of the European country's first female Prime Minister. Hammerich says: "I've seen an idea of how they can do it and I think it will work. It's still Borgen, but it’s an American Borgen with American politics. It's very interesting. We never thought that Borgen would travel anywhere and that doing a remake would be so weird. But talking to these guys,...
