Sweden’s Svt Orders ‘Whiskey On The Rocks’ From Skyverse Nordic
Sweden’s public service broadcaster Svt has boarded Skyverse Nordic comedy-drama Whiskey On The Rocks as its main commissioning broadcaster. The six-part series is still at script and production development stage and is being billed as a “premium, epic Cold War dramedy special event” directed by Björn Stein (Midnight Sun) and based on an original story from author Jonas Jonasson. It is among the first shows from Skyverse Nordic, which is a subsidiary of Sparkling, the Stockholm-based sister company to Humanoids that Deadline revealed back in May. The show reunites Jonasson with Skyverse boss Patrick Nebout and creative producer Henrik Jansson-Schweizer, who were collectively behind Sweden’s biggest export success, the Oscar-nominated The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared. A Scandinavian and international cast are being sought to play the drama’s protagonists onboard the submarine and in Moscow.

The European Commission’s plans for a Digital Single Market (Dsm) were high on the agenda as the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) held its annual strategy meeting in Berlin for first time.
Representatives from all six studios attended the two-day meeting in the German capital.
Speaking exclusively to ScreenDaily, Stan McCoy, MPAA’s Brussel-based president and MD for Emea, said: “Rhere are really two reasons why the MPAA came to Berlin this year.
“Firstly, film production between Germany and America has never been stronger. You don’t have to look any further than Homeland [fifth season shooting in the Berlin-Brandenburg region], Grand Budapest Hotel and Monuments Men to understand that.
“Secondly, the German industry has stepped up to take leadership on issues surrounding the Digital Single Market and the threat it poses to the film sector.
