MHz Choice announces their jam-packed December lineup with new series and long-awaited returning series Beck, The Sandhamn Murders and Murders at Barlume
WASHINGTON, Nov. 15, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- MHz Choice, the premier streamer of international series for U.S. and Canadian audiences, announces three sweeping new dramas and mysteries from across Europe. Acclaimed three-part Swedish drama The Days the Flowers Bloom leads the line-up with a powerful interwoven story of three neighboring families from the 1970s to the 1990s. The happy facade each family presents to the outside world is punctured by sudden loss or a public revealing of a quieter sorrow. The series is carried by exceptional performances by Ramsus Luthander (Spring Tide), Ulf Friberg (Gåsmamman, Maria Wern, Don't Ever Wipe Tears Without Gloves) and Anja Lundqvist (Gåsmamman, Alex) as their characters arrive at the moments that make the biggest imprints on their lives. The Days the Flowers Bloom is written by Jonas Gardell and directed by Simon Kaijser - the team behind the award-winning Don't Ever Wipe Away Tears Without Gloves.
Going further back in time is the visually stunning Italian period feature Enrico Piaggio: Vespa, based on the true-life unlikely success of Enrico Piaggio in post-war Italy. Award-winning actor Alessio Boni plays Piaggio, the determined inventor of the Vespa. His inventions are not limited to scooters, as he seems to devise entirely new forms of publicity which stir the pride of all Italians.
Rounding out the new series is the award-winning Swiss series Wilder (Switzerland), a dark mystery set in a picturesque Swiss mountain town. Rosa Wilder (Sarah Spale) is drawn into a murder investigation in her hometown as she grapples with new information about her brother's tragic death. There are enough twists and turns to satisfy the shrewdest of at-home mystery savants.
This December will also be a smorgasbord of long-awaited returning fan favorites: Swedish series Beck and The Sandhamn Murders are each still in top form for their respective seventh seasons, while the quirky Italian mystery Murders at Barlume retains its ensemble cast's charm with fresh murders in a seaside town.
The smorgasbord continues throughout December, with even more returning series just in time for holiday viewing! The New Nurses (Denmark), Arséne Lupin: 813 (France), The Promised Life (Italy), Changing Rooms (France) and The Art of Crime (France) will all premiere new episodes on MHz Choice before the end of 2021.
