Icelandic Streamer Síminn Boards ‘Reykjavik Noir’ Crime Drama Adaptation

Icelandic streamer Síminn has boarded 'Reykjavik Noir', a series adaptation of Lilja Sigurdardottir's crime novel trilogy.

In ‘Snare’, a young, divorced mother, Sonja, who is trying to win sole custody of her son resorts to smuggling cocaine into Iceland and gets caught up in the ruthless criminal world. Their vision for the series fits perfectly with the gritty, character-driven stories of the books, and I’m excited to bring Sonja, Bragi, and the world of ‘Reykjavik Noir’ to life for the screen with them.” Stella Soffia Johannesdottir, Senior Agent at Reykjavik Literary Agency, said Sigurdardóttir “has a razor-sharp eye for location and plot, crafting an exciting cast of colorful characters,” adding, “Her crime thrillers are highly visual, almost as if written for the screen, with rapid changes of viewpoint and short chapters that heighten the pace and tension.”
