Matrix star Keanu Reeves is to feature in the first original commission by Viaplay.
Swedish Dicks, a US production also stars Peter Stormare (Prison Break, Fargo) and top Swedish comedian Johan Glans.
“I’m very happy to be a part of Swedish Dicks and I love how progressive the whole show is. The scripts are amazing and it was great to have the opportunity to work with Peter Stormare again,” says the actor.
Reeves appears in a number of episodes of the comedy series Swedish Dicks, commissioned by the MTG-owned streaming service and currently shooting in Los Angeles. The US production will debut on Viaplay this autumn.
“The fact that we have such a talented list of stars really reflects the potential of this series and the high quality of the production. The passion from Brain Academy and Viking Brothers making this fantastic story come to life will make this into a series you don’t want to miss. We are already seeing a lot of interest from other international broadcast and TV companies and look forward to the premiere on Viaplay later this year,” says Jakob Mejlhede Andersen, EVP and group head of programming and content Development at MTG.
Besides Stormare, Glans and Reeves, the cast includes actors like Vivian Bang, Felisha Cooper, Traci Lords and Eric Roberts.
