Banijay Entertainment Brings Back ‘Wallander’ for Modern-Day Reboot Starring Gustaf Skarsgård (EXCLUSIVE)
The iconic Swedish detective drama 'Wallander' is making a return, reimagined for a new era by Jarowskij/Yellow Bird, TV4, and Banijay Rights.
Kvist added that “Gustaf Skarsgård gives us a relatable character packed with nerve, intuition and emotion.” Most of all, however, the idea for the new films, she said, was to create “suspense thrillers filled with unpredictability, struggle and the sense of constantly being in a pressure-cooker.” “With Gustaf Skarsgård in the legendary role, and its revived contemporary lens, this latest version is an exciting proposition for those seeking a new premium crime series for international audiences,” Cox continued. The scripts are written ) respectively by Antonia Pyk, a writer on the original Swedish “Wallander” franchise, Josefin Johansson (“Top Dog”) and scribe-helmer Jörgen Bergmark (“Beck”) adapted from three of the most successful books of the series: “One Step Behind,” “Sidetracked” and “Faceless Killers.”
