Anne Watanabe & Jasper Paakonen To Lead Japanese-Nordic Noir Series ‘Blood & Sweat’ For Wowow, Nelonen, ICS Nordic & Boat Rocker Studios
Anne Watanabe and Jasper Pääkkönen will lead 'Blood & Sweet', a Finland-Japan drama series about a pair of detectives from different cultures.
The eight-part series, which Wowow teased earlier this year, follows Watanabe and Pääkkönen as detectives from different cultures whose shared sense of justice drives them to embark on a joint investigation into a mysterious serial murder case that stretches from Finland to Japan. Hynninen, who founded ICS Nordic with Ilkka Rahkonen, have focused on making shows for the global market since launch in 2022 and recently finished an international version of comedy feature ISMO – Breaking Bad English. “This exciting new project further underscores our commitment to strategically invest in premium scripted co-productions we believe in,” added Boat Rocker’s Jon Rutherford, President of Global Rights, Franchise and Content Strategy.
