Exclusive: Karin Lindström and Andreas Hjertø only joined Prime Video Nordics in 2021 but they’ve already hit the ground running, this week showcasing an 18-strong slate of originals and touting ambitious plans for growth in an exclusive interview with Deadline.
The Amazon streamer has been late to the original content game in the Nordics, with its first announcements coming earlier this year in the shape of reality format The Bridge and scripted political comedy Toppen. Four more unscripted show orders emerged today at a splashy Prime Video Presents event in Stockholm, Sweden.
Market leaders Netflix and local player Viaplay, whose parent company both Lindström and Hjertø have worked for over the years, have led the way on originals. Amazon relaunched Prime Video as a Nordic service in March 2021 to better position for growth. Despite its large catalogue and competitive price points, it had struggled to compete.

In documentary film “The Fall,” Danish director Andreas Koefoed tells the story of Estrid, who fell out of a fifth floor window when sleepwalking at the age of 11. Koefoed, whose “The Lost Leonardo” was released last year by Sony Pictures Classics, speaks to Variety about his latest film, which has its world premiere Thursday at the Copenhagen Intl. Documentary Film Festival (Cph:dox) in Dox:Award, the main international competition category.
Estrid survived the accident but suffered 17 fractures. Through hard work and will-power, she regained her mobility, but the trauma of the fall stays with her and her family. Koefoed first met Estrid a few months after the fall when shooting a short film for a rehabilitation center for war veterans where she was getting treatment.
“I was touched by her personality, her story, the aura around her. I felt it was both a miracle and a tragedy at the same time:...
