DESCRIPTION:
(from Viaplay US's press release, October 2024) Written by Hans Rosenfeldt (creator of iconic Nordic series The Bridge and Marcella) and updated for fans of the fascinating fantasy worlds of Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings, Ronja, the Robber's Daughter, Season 1 is an adventure-filled story from beloved Swedish author Astrid Lindgren, who has sold more than 165 million books worldwide (the "Pippi Longstocking" series). Considered one of the most ambitious Nordic series ever, Season 1 reached Netflix's Top 10 in 15 countries including France, the Nordics, Poland & the Netherlands and was the #1 TV series in Sweden. The enchanting, coming-of-age story follows the adventures of a young girl born into a band of robbers set in and around a fortress in medieval Scandinavia. As Ronja grows up, she braves the mystical forest teeming with both enchanting and fearsome creatures like the wile-wings and gray dwarfs. When Ronja befriends the young boy Birk from a rival gang of robbers, a vicious family feud ignites. Season 1 will be available both subtitled and dubbed in English. |
