SkyShowtime’s upcoming crime series “Veronika,” headlined by Swedish star Alexandra Rapaport, has unveiled its full cast and an intense teaser trailer.
In the eight-part series, Rapaport plays police officer Veronika Gren with Tobias Santelmann (“Exit,” “The Arctic Convoy”) as her husband Tomas. Joining the cast are Olle Sarri (“Snabba Cash,” “Together 99”) as Tommy, Isac Calmroth (“Allt som blir kvar,” “Ondskan”) as Alexander and Arvin Kananian (“Hålla Samman,” “Triangle of Sadness”) as Nassir. Sarah Rhodin (“Mirakel”), Wilma Lidén (“Karusell”) and Eddie Eriksson Dominguez (“Diorama) will also appear.
“Set in a small town, police officer Veronika Gren (Rapaport), a mother of two, struggles with her complicated family life and a secret pill addiction,” the series’ official description reads. “When strange things start to happen and a deceased boy appears before her, Veronika thinks she’s lost her mind. Reluctantly, Veronika is forced to accept that the boy may not be an illusion. Soon Veronika finds herself in a murder investigation that goes deeper than anyone in town would like to believe, when she learns about the murder of two teenage girls. She must uncover the truth and find the connection between the cases to prevent the killer from striking again. But will anyone believe her?”
“Veronika” is created and scripted by Katja Juras and Anna Lindblom (“Gåsmamman”) and directed by Jonas Alexander Arnby (“War of the Worlds”). Rapaport serves as an executive producer alongside producers Calle Jansson and Mathias Gruffman at Bigster.
