Constantin Film, who previously co-produced the film, are planning to bring the project to U.S. premium cable networks and streaming platforms.
After garnering rave reviews for her work on Hulu’s The Handmaid’s Tale and Mrs. America, Amma Asante has found her next television project in the form of Constantin Film’s adaptation of the Danish thriller novel Smilla’s Sense of Snow, according to Variety.
“I’m absolutely delighted to be helming a show with such a powerful female lead at its center,” Assante said in a statement.
“Peter Höeg’s 1993 novel gave us a potent social commentary, with a heroine ahead of her time, that illuminated themes more relevant today than ever.
