A dinosaur in Valleby? Absolutely!

Two paleontologists have arrived in town with a complete T-Rex skeleton. But their lecture gets interrupted when an invaluable dinosaur bone goes missing. Luckily, JerryMaya’s Detective Agency is on scene! Who might have done it? The dinosaur lover Ivy Roos, the priest who does not believe in dinosaurs, or perhaps the cold sweating pastrycook whose name happens to be Dino?

The Dinosaur Mystery is the 32nd installment in the JerryMaya Detective Agency series.

Writer Sara Johnsen and director Tomas Alfredson are adapting the 2000’s feature Faithless, directed by Liv Ullmann from a script by Ingmar Bergman, as a limited TV series.

The series will explore the same tale of love and adultery told in the original film — about the actress Marianne Vogler, married to the acclaimed conductor Markus Vogler, who begins an affair with her husband’s best friend, David Howard — while expanding the story to follow the main characters 40 years on to see the consequences of their actions for both themselves and for their families. The series will move between the present day and back to the original events, which lie four decades in the past.

Lena Endre will reprise her role as Marianne for the series with Jesper Christensen (Quantum of Solace) playing the older David Howard. Young David will be played by Gustav Lindh (Queen of Hearts). Frida Gustavsson (The Witcher) will play the young Marianne, with August Wittgenstein (The Crown) as the young Markus.

Alfredson has begun shooting the six-part series, which is set to premiere in early 2025.

Hanne Wilhelmsen’s life is about to fall apart. Her wife, Nefis, has left her and taken their daughter, Ida, with her. When one of the few people in the world that Hanne cares about is brutally killed, she must fight to both save her family and solve a murder case far more important than she has ever faced before. Struggling with her own destructive forces and thoughts, she is led into a bleak landscape of hatred, contempt, and abuse, where it also turns out that a series of unexplained pregnancies are part of a larger, terrifying whole. Sleep-deprived and desperate, Hanne works around the clock and eventually finds a truth that is unbearable. For some.

Twelve Untamed Horses is the twelfth installment in Anne Holt’s Hanne Wilhelmsen series.
