Banijay recently began producing "Fallen," the company's most recent crime drama, distributed globally by Banijay Rights. It is created and written by Camilla Ahlgren, along with Martin Asphaug and Alex Haridi, this new crime drama stars Sofia Helin and Hedda Stiernstedt.

The co-production between C More, TV4, Film i Skåne, and Filmlance, in collaboration with ZDF, is produced by Filmlance’s Anna Wallmark, and Lisa Dahlberg serves as executive producer at C More and TV4. The lead director is Linnéa Roxeheim, working with Olof Spaak. Filming will take place in Malmö and Ystad and the surrounding area and the series will launch on C More in 2023. "It’s brilliant to be reunited in this project, to deepen the creative process and challenge one another in new ways," Sofia Helin said. "I discovered Linnéa Roxeheim’s films a few years ago and working with a director with a talent for fine-tuning human relationships will take this drama and the genre to the next level."

Recent scripted news from Banijay includes a partnership with award-winning French producer, Alain Goldman via the production entities, Pitchipoï Productions and Montmartre Films alongside Banijay Italy joining Italian premium scripted producer, Grøenlandia Group. The show tells the story of Iris Broman, the new head of the Kalla Fall, a group solving cold cases in Malmö. Due to a tragedy, she moves from Stockholm down to the small southern town of Ystad, where she lives in her half-sister Kattis’ house by the sea. When Iris arrives in Skåne, a cold case becomes topical again and everything is turned upside down, intertwining the lives of several people. 

“It is incredibly exciting to be working once again with Sofia Helin, and with Hedda Stiernstedt also on board, this is set to be a high-quality, emotionally-tense show fans will love," Camilla Ahlgren, creator and screenwriter for Filmlance said. "Linnéa Roxeheim’s unique directing style is perfect for this deep, character-driven story, exploring if it is possible to move forward in life without answers and how to stop the internal craving for retribution.”
