Prime Video Sets Premiere Date for ‘Paradis City’ From ‘Snabba Cash’ Scribe Jens Lapidus: ‘More Hell Than Paradise’ (EXCLUSIVE)
The adrenaline-filled dystopian show is being platformed as a work in progress at Göteborg’s TV Drama Vision.
Prime Video has set the global launch date for its premium Swedish show “Paradis City,” a fast-paced dystopian actioner, based on “Snabba Cash” scribe Jens Lapidus’ eponymous stand-alone novel. When the Home Secretary is abducted by masked men at a rally in one of the largest ‘no-go’ zones, Paradis City, special agents Fredrika (Ragnarsson) enlists Emir (Abdallah), an ex-MMA fighter facing life in prison to find the politician, otherwise he might risk losing a chance to see his daughter again. “The titles of my novels have different interpretations, but this is obviously ironic,” continues the high-profile Swedish novelist and former criminal defence lawyer, whose “Snabba Cash” Stockholm noir trilogy turned into global hits in libraries and on small and silver screens.
