TrustNordisk has boarded international sales for the new series Agent from actor-turned-writer/director Nikolaj Lie Kaas.

Zentropa produces the Danish-language dramedy about a talent agent in the entertainment industry. The series has now started shooting, with Esben Smed (Follow The Money) in the lead role as Joe, an agent with a chaotic life.

The cast also includes Sidse Babett Knudsen (Borgen), Dar Salim (Darkland), Ulrich Thomsen (The Commune), and Another Round actors Lars Ranthe and Magnus Millang, all playing caricatured versions of themselves.

Louise Vesth produces the 8x40’ series, budgeted at €5.7m ($6m), which is being readied for a late 2023 delivery. TV2 will air in Denmark.

As an actor, Lie Kaas’ credits include Riders Of Justice, Zentropa’s Department Q films, and the forthcoming The Kingdom Exodus. He previously directed the series Mr. Poxycat & Co.
