The psychological thriller series BRKN, adapted from Jón Atli Jónasson’s novel BROTI and in development at Iceland’s Glassriver, will be distributed worldwide by Italy’s True Colours.
The Reykjavik-set series focuses on the investigation into the disappearance of a nonbinary teenager. It is created by Jónasson (The Deep, Arctic Circle), with director Thorleifur Örn Arnarsson and screenwriter, novelist, and composer Margrét Örnólfsdóttir.
Andri Ómarsson, co-owner and producer at Glassriver, said, “BRKN pushes the boundaries of the Nordic crime genre and represents the distinctive and original storytelling that we champion at Glassriver. We are delighted to be partnering with True Colours, as we continue to share bold and unique stories from Iceland, with the world.”
Elliot Gustin at True Colours added, “One year after launching our series distribution business, we are delighted to be partnering with Glassriver. This demonstrates our ability as an independent distributor to support bold, high-quality projects. BRKN is a series with tremendous potential, and we firmly believe it will have international acclaim and success.”
