Stockholm-based production company Dramacorp is joining forces with best-selling author Jonas Jonasson for “Whiskey on the Rocks,” a high-profile Cold War-set mini-series.

The series will reunite Jonasson with Patrick Nebout, Dramacorp CEO, and creative director Henrik Jansson-Schweizer following the Oscar-nominated “The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared,” which became Sweden’s biggest blockbuster.

Weaving comedy and thriller, “Whiskey on the Rocks” is inspired by a notorious incident that very nearly escalated into a full-blown war between Sweden and the USSR. In 1981, a Soviet U-137 ‘Whisky’-class submarine ran aground on rocks deep inside Swedish territorial waters — right in the middle of a sensitive Swedish naval exercise. This extreme breach of sovereignty led to a Cold War stand-off between Sweden and the USSR that took 11 days of high-stakes negotiation to resolve.

The event series will be headlined by a local and international cast. “Whiskey on the Rocks” will also be using next-generation in-camera and VR technology pioneered by Lucasfilm and Disney on the space Western series “The Mandalorian.”

Wind Of Change

Hulu Lands TV Adaptation Of Rock N Roll Spy Podcast ‘Wind Of Change’

: Wind Of Change, the wild podcast that asks whether the CIA wrote the eponymous Scorpions hit song, is being adapted for television at Hulu.

Created and hosted by New Yorker investigative journalist Radden Keefe, the eight-part podcast series follows Keefe as he explores a rumor he heard from a source within the CIA: The CIA was behind the 1990 international hit. He will look at spies doing the unthinkable, a secret history of propaganda hidden in pop music, and a maze of government secrets as he attempts to untangle one of the great mysteries of the Cold War.

Power ballad Wind of Change was recorded by West German rock band Scorpions in 1990; the lyrics were composed by lead singer Klaus Meine during the band’s visit to the USSR at the height of perestroika. It was released just after the failed coup that would eventually lead to the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Lars Von Trier’s 1990s Hospital Series ‘The Kingdom’ Returning For Third & Final Season

Lars von Trier’s The Kingdom, the TV show set on the neurosurgical ward of a Copenhagen hospital which ran for two seasons in the 1990s, is to return for a third and final five-episode run that will shoot in 2021.

The cult show, which was released as a five-hour movie in some territories, had originally been planned to run for three seasons but never completed due in part to the deaths of key cast members Ernst-Hugo Järegård and Kirsten Rolffes. Producers Zentropa are keeping details under wraps but did say the new edition will be a mix of new and returning characters.

Amazon to Develop Bill Konigsberg’s ‘The Bridge’ as Limited Series, David Mandell to Write

n a competitive situation, Amazon has acquired the rights to the Bill Konigsberg’s novel “The Bridge” with David Mandell set to adapt the book for television, Variety has learned exclusively.

The limited series will be produced by Amazon Studios in association with PKM Productions. Mandell will write and executive produce, with Konigsberg also executive producing along with Patrick Moran of PKM. Moran is currently under an overall deal with Amazon.

In “The Bridge,” neither Tillie nor Aaron goes to the top of the George Washington Bridge with the idea that their life matters all that much. They don’t know each other, but one thing they share is the belief that no one will miss them when they’re gone. When they interrupt each other’s suicide plan, they are forced to make a quick decision: jump or not jump. Based on the decision each makes in the split second that they sit a hundred feet apart, staring at each other with one leg over the rail, the world splits into four alternate realities. What Tillie and Aaron don’t know is that every life is inexorably tied together, and there’s no way to predict the impact a life—or the absence of a life—can have.

Netflix's Virgin River renewed for season 3

Stumbled across this I don't where it's been shown in world but there is 4 episodes out at the moment I just watched the first one and it's just fun to see parts of Dublin like Trinity and Dun Laoghaire being used as exotic places.

Brendan Fraser & Tom Welling looking their ages now, it's one of these European funded shows like Crossing Lines where they use a few American big names with European cast and make it feel like it is a US series.

Terrible so far but part of me likes terrible TV and I do like Brendan Fraser.

Finished watching the season today it was alright nothing great, I will say however they made Dublin look great and filmed in places you wouldn't usually see on film.

Very few shows that I can't get through a few episodes of. This was awful though. Lasted about 10 mins. Got as far as the scene at the end of the pier in Dun Laoghaire and that was it. Awful, awful stuff.
