Channel 4 Buys Nordic Noir Thriller ‘The Darkness’ From Paramount CBS Studios

4 Channel has procured “The Darkness,” an Iceland-based suspense series distributed by Paramount Global Content Distribution. This acquisition was announced during a Series Mania event featuring Lisa Kramer, international president of content and licensing at Paramount Global, and Lindsey Martin, CBS Studios‘ vice president of co-productions.

In ‘The Darkness’, a movie adapted from Ragnar Jónasson’s novel, Lena Olin plays an ardent investigator nearing retirement. She decides to solve one last mystery involving a young Russian refugee. As she delves into the chilling murder case, she finds herself confronting her own past traumas.

The television show filmed in Reykjavík, Iceland’s capital, features an outstanding ensemble cast that includes Jack Bannon (from “Pennyworth”), Douglas Henshall (“Shetland”), Björn Hlynur Haraldsson (“A Gentleman in Moscow”), and Thorsteinn Bachmann (“Katla”), along with other notable actors.

The series “Darkness” was developed jointly by CBS Studios (an American studio) and the Icelandic production company Truenorth. It was then approved for broadcast by the Icelandic television network, Síminn.
