‘The Valhalla Murders’ Duo & Elín Hall Teaming On Icelandic-Finnish Climate Miniseries ‘Avalanche’


An 'Avalanche' TV series for Iceland and Finland is being made by 'The Valahlla Murders' duo Thordur Palsson and Óttar Nordfjord

Forged for Iceland’s Síminn and rolling cameras next week, Avalanche stars Elín Hall ( Let Me Fall) as Freyja, a meteorologist who returns to her hometown to warn the villagers of an imminent catastrophe. Casting striking similarities between fictional tragic events and today’s climate crisis, the series is aiming to highlight the urgency of heeding scientific warnings. Avalanche joins Glassriver’s scripted slate including the recently optioned titles Elma from Eva Björg Ægisdottir and Reykjavik Noir from author Lilja Sigurdardottir, which are being adapted for the screen.
