Cry Wolf has started filming in Haparanda, a city at Sweden’s easternmost point, bordering Finland.

The six-part series is written by Oskar Söderlund, directed by Jesper Ganslandt and is based on the acclaimed novel of the same name, by Hans Rosenfeldt.

Cry Wolf stars Eliot Sumner (No Time to Die), Eva Melander (Border) and Henrik Dorsin (Triangle of Sadness).

Cry Wolf (Vargasommar), the acclaimed debut novel of Hans Rosenfeldt, will now be made into a TV series by writer Oskar Söderlund and director Jesper Ganslandt, the duo behind the mega hit series Snabba Cash.

Cry Wolf will star British musician-turned-actor Eliot Sumner (No Time to Die), Eva Melander (Border) and Henrik Dorsin (Triangle of Sadness).

Melander is set play Hannah Wester, a 54-year-old police officer whose quiet life in Haparanda gets turned upside down after a wolf is found dead. What appeared to be an ordinary investigation instead turns into a sprawling criminal case with connections to a bloody drug deal in Finland, sparking a series of brutal events.

Cry Wolf will start filming in in Haparanda, near the border of Finland, in July.

It’s now official that Oskar Söderlund will be the showrunner of the upcoming TV adaptation of John Le Carré’s A Most Wanted Man. Produced by The Ink Factory (The Night Manager) almost a decade after making a feature film version, Söderlund’s rendition will be updated to a modern day European context.

One of Le Carré’s best known works, A Most Wanted Man follows a young Chechen ex-prisoner who arrives illegally in Germany with a claim to a fortune held in a private bank. It was written to the backdrop of George W. Bush’s policy of ‘extraordinary rendition’ and inspired by the real-life story of Murat Kurnaz.

The Man Who Died is based on Antti Tuomainen’s bestselling novel of the same name.
