Read the whole article, here.Three further novels, Faceless Killers, The Fifth Woman and The Man Who Smiled, will be filmed, with the drama shot on location in the Swedish town of Ystad once again.
BBC1's new Wallander adaptations, which will see Branagh reprise his role as the moody detective Kurt Wallander, created by Swedish novelist Henning Mankell, will be filmed this summer.
The first series of Wallander won a BAFTA for "best drama series" and is available on DVD (episodes are: Sidetracked, Firewall and One Step Behind).The order of filming seems to take the same random approach as the translation to English did. The books were written in the order:
Faceless Killers
The Dogs of Riga
The White Lioness
The Man Who Smiled
Sidetracked
The Fifth Woman
One Step Behind
Firewall
The first series is airing in North America, I think for the first time, on PBS beginning this weekend (May 10, 17, & 31). I'm still a bit dubious at the prospect of Branagh as Wallander, but I'm looking forward to watching all the same!
