The glitzy, sun-soaked playground of the Canary Islands will offer the surprising backdrop for a new series from Anagram Norway, which will be bringing a slick crime drama to the Co-Pro Pitching Sessions at the Series Mania Forum early next month.
Set in the mid-‘90s, “Crimeshare” is based on the real-life story of Bjørn Lyng, a Norwegian entrepreneur who decided to construct the most luxurious timeshare complex ever built on the Canary Islands. But the plan goes awry when it attracts the attention of John “Goldfinger” Palmer, a notorious British mobster whose own designs on the sun-drenched paradise threaten to destroy Lyng’s dream.
Anagram’s Ole Marius Araldsen says the story arrived at the company’s doorstep from an unexpected source: Lyng’s own son-in-law, who’d married and lived on the Canaries before moving back to Norway—only to return to investigate a friend’s suspicious death.
