Prime Video has greenlit Hell of a Date (working title), its first Swedish action series.
Production is underway in Stockholm, with Denmark’s Milad Avaz directing and Erik “Jerka” Johansson (Länge leve Bonusfamiljen), Hanna Alström, Adam Pålsson (Innan vi dör), Alba August (Unga Astrid), Valter Skarsgård (Beck) and Nina Zanjani (Älska mig) starring.
Hell of a Date is billed as a “thrilling, action-packed roller coaster set in the world of Swedish media and politics,” and a “gripping, funny and loving story that has something important to say at its core: how we humans embrace change.”
The action is set to a backdrop of Sweden facing primitive power outages and ominous predictions about the coming winter. Reluctant widower Arthur (Johansson) gets recruited to help his colleague, star journalist Cristina (Zanjani), who dares to question the mainstream narrative. Feeling cornered by the police and other powers,...

Pop-country phenoms, Harmonica ruled the circuit, boasting sold-out arena tours and lavish lifestyles. When they find themselves on the other side of that fame decades later, Monica (Josephine Bornebusch) and Harry (Jonas Karlsson) have to decide whether to embark on a reunion tour or stay firmly planted in their present-day, lives racked with grief and angst. Their marriage on the brink of collapse, the two agree to take one last shot at living their passions outright, the traumas they’ve accumulated in tow.
Vivid flashbacks establish a profound dichotomy in this Swedish-language, Viaplay Original drama series. The cast, rounded out by Eric Ericson (“Department Q”), Nina Zanjani (“Hedda Gabler”), Jorgen Thorrson (“Border”), and Dag Malmberg (“Gåsmamman”), offers sporadic comedic relief while serving to superbly flesh-out the scenes of excess and tension.
At its core “Harmonica,” is a story of true love grown apathetic, ravaged, holding on by a thread. Produced...
