Nordisk Film Inks Three-Series Distribution Deal for Nordic Crime Slate
Nordisk Film Production has signed a multi-series distribution deal with Reinvent Yellow for three high-end crime series. The agreement includes Prime Video's first Danish Original, "Snake Killer," and TV2 Norway's "Sogn Murders." Reinvent Yellow will manage global distribution for the titles outside of specified Nordic and German-speaking territories.
Key Takeaways
- The agreement covers Prime Video’s first Danish original “Snake Killer,” TV2 Norway’s “Sogn Murders,” and a third unnamed Nordic crime IP.
- Reinvent Yellow will manage global distribution for “Snake Killer” outside the Nordics, and for “Sogn Murders” outside the Nordics and German-speaking territories.
- TV2 Norway’s “Sogn Murders” drew over one million viewers on its domestic streaming launch, achieving a 98% series completion rate.
- Nordisk Film plans to produce six to seven series annually starting in 2027, using Denmark's new 25% tax rebate to attract co-productions.
Why It Matters
The deal provides Nordisk Film with stability by securing a multi-series distribution partner, validating its new TV series slate in a tight market. For Reinvent Yellow, the acquisition supports a growth strategy focused on building a catalogue of premium Nordic content that can travel globally. This slate-based approach packages proven regional content for international buyers. Watch the performance of “Sogn Murders” in subsequent territories; its 98% completion rate in Norway is a powerful sales metric, but its lighter “blue sky crime” tone will test the genre’s appeal beyond the typical hard-hitting noir archetype.
