"Not many people know it, but in 1903 Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote a short
story, “The Adventure of the Empty House,” where after faking his his own death
at the Reichenbach Falls, Sherlock Holmes travels to Scandinavia, on the run
from nemesis Professor Moriarty.
Under a false identity – an explorer named Sigerson – Holmes settles in dark
and cold Lapland, in northern Finland, sparking a culture clash between the
upper-class, fast-talking and eccentric Brit and the down-to-earth Nordic
characters.
Finnish writer-director-producer Juha Wuolijoki will run the upcoming 10-hour
television series “Sherlock North,” which he introduced yesterday as a
work-in-progress at the TV Drama Vision section of the Nordic Film Market in
Göteborg’s 40th Film Festival. He aims to shoot the series in the winter of
2018, at the latest 2019. Finnish broadcaster YLE is on board for series
development."
