Red Arrow Studios International has secured a deal with AMC Networks’ Sundance Now SVOD platform for distribution of the stylish neo-noir crime drama, Stella Blómkvist.

The series has also been recommissioned for a second season by Síminn in Iceland.

Sundance Now is available in North America, the UK, Australia and New Zealand. Stella Blómkvist has previously sold to channels including NBCUniversal Global networks for Spain and the French-speaking territories.

Based on the best-selling crime novels, Stella Blómkvist is directed by Óskar Thór Axelsson and stars Heida Reed as a quick-witted lawyer. Smart and ruthless, with a dark past, a fluid sexuality and a taste for whiskey and easy money, Stella takes on cases that always lead to danger.

“Stella Blómkvist is a gripping, stylishly executed female-driven series that puts a satisfying spin on the Nordic Noir phenomenon,” said Bo Stehmeier, president of Red Arrow Studios International. “Broadcasters and platforms continue to be attracted to genre-breaking international dramas such as this, and we are delighted to be bringing the show to audiences around the world.”

Jan Diedrichsen, executive director at Sundance Now, added: “The Sundance brand is synonymous with great storytelling, and Stella Blómkvist is sure to appeal to Sundance Now’s discerning subscriber base, who come to the service for high-quality original content from around the globe.”
