Netflix has begun the production of a new Danish original series “Elves”. This new series comes for the creators and executive producers of Netflix’s first Danish original series “The Rain” – a post-apocalyptic psychological thriller.
As per Netflix, the storyline for “Elves” is as follows, “Hoping to reconnect over Christmas, a family of four travel to a remote island in the Danish archipelago, only to find it controlled by members of a strongly religious community living in balance with fierce creatures in the woods revealed to be… elves. When the girl in the family finds and brings home a baby elf, she inadvertently disrupts the balance and throws everyone on the island into a life-or-death battle for faith, family and pure survival.”
Elves are “real, monstrous beings that inspired the folklore and myths we all know.” The starcast for this Christmas horror show at Netflix includes, Ann Eleonora Jørgensen (Ride Upon the Storm), Rasmus Hammerich (A Horrible Woman), Peder Thomas Pedersen (The Lawyer), Lila Nobel (The Rain) and Lukas Løkken (The Rain).
Set in Denmark, “Elves” is a six-part Netflix series created and written by Stefan Jaworski (Those Who Kill, The candidate), directed by Roni Ezra (The New Nurses) and produced by Elise H. Lund for Miso Film. The original idea for “Elves” came from Jannik Tai Mosholt and Christian Potalivo (The Rain), who also serve as executive producers together with Peter Bose and Jonas Allen from Miso Film.
The details about the release of “Elves” at Netflix are still under wraps.
