AGC Television Picks Up Worldwide Rights on Nordic Noir Thriller Series ‘A Wolf’s Prey’
AGC Television, the scripted television production and distribution division of Stuart Ford’s AGC Studios, is adding “A Wolf’s Prey” to its distribution slate and introducing the six episode Lithuanian-German crime-mystery to international buyers at Mipcom.
When a young woman is brutally murdered in a remote town, a determined female detective is thrust into the case. As she digs deeper into the mystery, the town’s darkest truths come to light. What begins as a search for a killer becomes a fight to uncover the rot beneath the town’s quiet surface.
“The director has combined mythology, internationally acclaimed psychiatrist Carl Gustav Jung’s ideas and the darkest desires and sins of mankind,” according to a statement.
Director-writer Emilis Velyvis said: “This is the first attempt of creating this kind of story and genre again in a series since David Lynch’s legendary international success with ‘Twin Peaks.’”
Currently in post-production, the English/Lithuanian language series stars Edward Holcroft (“Kingsman: The Secret Service,” “The English Game”), Ingeborga Dapkūnaitė (“Mission Impossible,” “Seven Years in Tibet,” “Hannibal Rising”), Agnė Šataitė (“Provisionally Yours”), Tommi Korpela (“Omerta 12/6,” “The Last Ones,” “Maria’s Paradise”) and Ieva Andrejevaitė (“Tetris,” “All of You,” “Pilgrims”).
The series is written and directed by Velyvis (“Redirected,” “The Generation of Evil”), produced by Daiva Varnaitė-Jovaišienė and Asta Liukaitytė for Kino Kultas (Lithuania), co-produced by Michael Müllner, Georg Prokop and Josef Brandmaier for Kodachrome (Germany), and executive produced by Tero Kaukomaa from Finland’s Son of a Pitch and AGC’s Ford, Lourdes Diaz and Diane Ferrandez.
Key crew creatives include director of photography Feliksas Abrukauskas, production designer Ramūnas Rastauskas, costume designers Jolanta Rimkutė and Dovilė Cibulskaitė, and make-up artist Jurgita Globytė.
Kino Kultas and Kodachrome produced and financed with backing from the Lithuanian Film Centre, private investors, Lithuanian National broadcaster LRT and Telia Play.
The deal was negotiated by Kodachrome’s managing director Michael Müllner and by AGC’s VP of legal and business affairs Conor McElroy for AGC.
