As many as 70 feature films and TV productions have been adapted on the author’s novels, according to NENT Group.
“Ronja’s confidence and complexity make her one of my all-time favourite characters,” said Filippa Wallestam, NENT Group’s CCO. The executive said it was a “classic story of a strong and independent girl was always far ahead of its time, and its themes of friendship, closeness to nature and questioning one’s assumptions are so relevant today.”
“All of this in a world that is complicated, dangerous but also wonderful and magical. With the huge support we have received from NENT Group, we want to produce a series that is an epic and thrilling adventure, an homage to nature, for the entire family,” added the pair.
