The series will be the first original Danish series for Netflix and hails from creator Jannik Tai Mosholt.
The Rain’s central characters are two Danish siblings who emerge safely from their bunker nearly six years following a brutal virus wiping out nearly all of Scandinavia.
Neither Mosholt nor the cast of this series features any names that would immediately stick out to American audiences, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing.
That virus is carried by the rain, hence the title of the series, as well as why everyone is freaking out and trying their hardest to stay dry.
