Germany’s Beta Film has boarded upcoming royal love story drama Queen Silvia (w/t), a 6×60’ coproduction with Pyjama Pictures and Sweden’s Unlimited Stories for Prime Video in the DACH region and Sat.1 in Germany.

The scripted project reveals how Sweden’s young Crown Prince Carl Gustaf met German-Brazilian interpreter Silvia Sommerlath at the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich. They then embarked on a much-publicised romance.

Production is currently underway in Munich, Berlin and Stockholm, with the lead roles played by German actor Alicia von Rittberg (Becoming Elisabeth) and Swedish actor Edvin Endre (Eddie the Eagle).

Justus Riesenkampff, exec VP for Nordics and Benelux at Beta Film, said: “Set between Munich, Stockholm and the French Riviera, and brought to life with a lavish cast and stunning costumes, the series promises to be a must-see for audiences around the globe.”
