Paramount+ has released a first look of the trailer for The Burning Girls, Hans Rosenfeldt’s adaptation of C.J. Tudor’s bestselling novel with the same name.

The chilling series sees single mum and reverend Jack Brooks (Samantha Morton) moving into a new village with her daughter Flo (Bridgerton’s Ruby Stokes), only to discover there are some strange local superstitions — and sightings of little girls who may or may not be real.

The Burning Girls will premiere on Paramount+ on October 19^th.

Hans Rosenfeldt has set his next project, a return to the canon of crime author C.J. Tudor. Having just penned Paramount+’s adaptation of Tudor’s The Burning Girls, Rosenfeldt is now turning his attention to her first novel, 2016’s The Chalk Man. Rosenfeldt is combining once again with UK indie Buccaneer Media, with whom he worked on The Burning Girls and ITV thriller Marcella.

Starting in 1986, the book follows Eddie “Munster” Adams, who spends his days biking around a sleepy English village exchanging secret codes via little chalk stick figures with his friends. But then a mysterious chalk man leads them right to a dismembered body, and nothing is ever the same. Fast-forward to 2016 and Eddie thinks he has put the past behind him, before he gets a letter in the mail, containing a single chalk stick figure.

“I love C.J. Tudor’s books and I’m so glad that I get the opportunity to adapt another one of them,” says Rosenfeldt. “I’m really looking forward to bringing The Chalk Man‘s exciting twisty plot and interesting characters to the screen together with the great people at Buccaneer”.

“We’re excited to be once again marrying C.J.’s compelling storytelling with Hans Rosenfeldt’s world class screenwriting to create another premium screen thriller for audiences around the world.” says Richard Tulk-Hart, joint CEO of Buccaneer.

Filming has begun on Ronja the Robber’s Daughter, the classic Astrid Lindgren adventure about a strong and independent girl which took the world by storm when it was published 40 years ago.

Kerstin Linden has signed up for the lead role as Ronja, joined by Jack Bergenholtz Henriksson, who plays the role of Ronja’s friend, Birk Borkason. The parents of the two robber families are played by Christopher Wagelin as Mattis, Krista Kosonen playing Lovis, and in rival dynasty, Sverrir Gudnason plays Borka, and Maria Nohra as Undis.

Ronja the Robber’s Daughter is penned by the renowned writer Hans Rosenfeldt, and the first season is directed by Lisa James Larsson.

The series will premiere in 2023 on Viaplay.

NENT Group and Filmlance International are partnering with The Astrid Lindgren Company and have commissioned Hans Rosenfeldt to adapt Astrid Lindgren’s world-famous story Ronja the Robber’s Daughter into a major Viaplay Original family fantasy series, to be directed by Lisa James Larsson (Victoria) and featuring groundbreaking visual effects.

Ronja the Robber’s Daughter is one of the best-known books by Astrid Lindgren, who is among the world’s most translated and best-selling authors with more than 75 books published. Her work has been translated into over 100 languages and sold more than 165 million copies, and has been adapted for more than 70 feature films and TV productions.

Filippa Wallestam, NENT Group Chief Content Officer says:
“Ronja’s confidence and complexity make her one of my all-time favourite characters. This classic story of a strong and independent girl was always far ahead of its time, and its themes of friendship, closeness to nature and questioning one’s assumptions are so relevant today. It is a privilege to work with such a top-class creative team to bring Ronja to Viaplay viewers around the world, and this project shows just how quickly our ambitions are growing. For a Nordic storyteller like NENT Group, adapting an Astrid Lindgren work is as big as it gets.”

The series will premiere from 2023 with 12 episodes across two seasons.

Hans Rosenfeldt has found his new project – adapting CJ Tudor’s bestselling novel The Burning Girls into a TV series. Rosenfeldt will work with Marcella producer Buccaneer Media to adapt the book, who follows Reverend Jack Brooks and her daughter as they make a fresh start in Chapel Croft, but soon the close-knit community’s dark history begins to reveal itself.

Buccaneer co-CEO Wood says: “The Burning Girls is a terrific story; it’s very easy to see how CJ Tudor has risen to the top of the charts in pretty short order. Her ability to tell a truly gripping story is exceptional.”

Rosenfeldt adds: “I’ve been longing to get back to London and to work with Buccaneer again and when Tony sent me a copy of The Burning Girls I thought ‘Yes, this is what we should do!’ I loved the book, its characters, the setting, the horror elements and the many twists and surprises.”
