Storytel Storytel Original Blood Queen has performed great globally and we are now looking for a home for the Film/TV rights for this amazing story about Countess Elizabeth Bathory. She had power and wealth running through her veins. She rules her vast estates with an iron fist and fierce intelligence, protecting her family and the people who depend on her. But rumours where spreading… and bodies where mounting up. Why did young servant girls die wherever the Countess went? Was she a witch? Or just cursed?

The world’s most iconic and beloved detective is ready for new adventures, in the long-awaited first part of Storytel’s trilogy Becoming Sherlock, The Red Circle.
The story takes place in a future where London is decayed. Sherlock Holmes wakes up from unconsciousness to the news of a plane crash with hundreds of victims in the middle of the city.
He doesn’t know who he is, but his detection skills are extraordinary.
The Red Circle will be released exclusively on Storytel on December 7 2023

We have rewritten a small selection of Storytel Originals so they are more suitable for the Film/TV media. The dramaturgy has been changed slightly to suit Film/TV better and we have also changed some local writings to be more globally viable and made the stories more like a script for Film/TV. If you are interested in these Storytel Originals rewritten for Film/TV, please contact us.

Nuttery Entertainment’s animated series project “Hakan Super Brakan” has been accepted by the Selection Committee and will be presented during the 2022 edition of Cartoon Forum. The project is based on the successful book series by best-selling author-duo Sören & Anders published audiobook streamer Storytel.

The series’ focus will be on the main character and his fantastic and exaggerated world full of adventure and it will be aimed at an international audience. 

“It is humbling and an incredible privilege to work on such an amazing IP as Håkan Bråkan.

The collaboration with Nuttery Entertainment feels very inspiring! It is fun to be part of brainstorming ideas and developing completely new stories about Håkan Bråkan — who is transformed into Super Bråkan when you least expect it! ”, says Sören Olsson / Anders Jacobsson 

The animation development is taking place alongside Storytel’s major push of Anders Jacobsson and Sören Olsson’s authorship, where several new books are planned. As recently announced, Nordic Film will release two new live-action movies based on Håkan Bråkan, the first one releasing next year. 

“It’s super exciting that Anders and Sören’s stories about Håkan-Bråkan are becoming an animated series! One of our goals is to have our fantastic content reach out to audiences in new and creative ways and Nuttery Entertainment is the perfect partner to help us do this,” says Sara Hasselström at Storytel Agency.

Nuttery Entertainment will develop and executive produce the animated series alongside Storytel, with Sören and Anders onboard to help craft the creative materials. The project will be approaching co-producers early next year.
