'Copenhagen Cowboy', a poetic neo-noir series by Nicolas Winding Refn, the Danish director of the 'Pusher' trilogy, 'Drive', and 'The Neon Demon', has officially been picked up by OTT.
According to reports, a teenage heroine named Miu (Angela Bundalovic) journeys through Copenhagen's criminal underworld in the six-part series 'Copenhagen Cowboy' with a Danish location for the six-episode drama. The production is now finished. Later this year, the series will debut internationally on OTT.
"With 'Copenhagen Cowboy,' I am returning to my past to shape my future by creating a series, an expansion of my constantly evolving alter-egos, now in the form of my young heroine, Miu," said Refn.
The director praised his partnership with OTT as well, stating that it had "been an absolutely wonderful experience on all levels."
"I not only perceive them as my partners with many future adventures to come but also as my friends. The new term has been born: OTT Winding Refn," quipped the helmer.
Refn is "one of Denmark's most recognized directors," according to Jenny Stjernstromer Bjork, director of a series at OTT. Bjork said that OTT was "bringing him back to Denmark to develop a native Danish programme after more than 15 years overseas" with the release of this new series.
"Nicolas is a creative force and is such a fascinating and unpredictable filmmaker. We can't wait to bring 'Copenhagen Cowboy' to the world," continued Bjork, reportedly.
Angela Bundalovic, Lola Corfixen, and Zlatko Buric are the series' main actors. Andreas Lykke Jensen, Jason Hendil-Forssell, Li Ii Zhang, Dragana Milutinovic, Mikael Bertelsen, and Mads Brugger are among the additional cast members.
