Prime Video targets Swedish series Blind Spot

FIRST LOOK: Ida Engvoll (Love & Anarchy) takes the lead in Prime Video’s Swedish drama Blind Spot, an adaptation of Anne Holt’s crime novel 1222 that features detective Hanne Wilhelmsen.

Produced by Nordic Drama Queens and Amazon MGM Studios, the series is being filmed  Stockholm ahead of its anticipated 2025 release on Prime Video in the Nordics.

During a heavy snowstorm, a train travelling from Stockholm to Narvik collides with an avalanche. All passengers must take shelter in an old, isolated hotel in the mountains nearby. Among them is the sharp and dark-minded police officer, Hanne Wilhelmsen (Engvoll) and when mysterious murders start taking place at the hotel – despite being temporarily suspended from the police – Hanne begins to investigate.

The ensemble cast includes Pål Sverre Hagen (Exit), Kjell Bergqvist (Bäckström) and Sissela Kyle (Fröken Frimans krig).

The script is written by Sara Heldt (Sandhamn Murders) together with writer/director Erik Skjoldberg (Occupied). Skjoldberg is also directing all four episodes.

The producer is Nordic Drama Queens’ Sandra Harms and executive producers are Line Winther Skyum Funch, Josefine Tengblad, Anne Holt and Niclas Salomonsson.

Fifth Season is handling global distribution outside of the Nordics.
