Emmy-nominated actress Anna Chlumsky ("Veep") and Leslie Bibb ("The White Lotus") have signed on to star in the upcoming Cold War crime series "Top of the Rock" created by Davíð Óskar Ólafsson ("The Valhalla Murders", "Trom"), Jón Atli Jónasson ("Arctic Circle", "The Deep"), and Ragnar Jónsson ("Black Sands"). The six-part drama will be directed by Ólafsson and written by Jónasson and Óttar M. Norðfjörð ("The Darkness", "The Valhalla Murders", "Reykjavík 112").
Set in 1983, amid escalating Cold War paranoia, the series follows Captain Diane Goodman (Bibb), a U.S. military police investigator, and MP Sarah Ellis (Chlumsky), both stationed at the NATO base in Keflavík, when an American soldier is found dead under suspicious circumstances outside the base. Forced to work closely with the Icelandic police, Goodman and Ellis uncover a web of espionage, betrayal and political deceit — trapped between duty and diplomacy, the two women must navigate a dangerous network of secrets before more lives are lost.
The show hails from Iceland's leading production company, Truenorth ("Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning", "The Northman"), alongside Mystery Productions and Vertu. It is produced by Kristinn Thordarson, Ólafsson and Ágúst Freyr Ingason, with Truenorth's CEO and founder Leifur B. Dagfinnsson serving as executive producer. Casting is led by Emmy Award-winning casting director Alexa L. Fogel ("True Detective", "Ozark", "Smoke", "Black Rabbit"), who also serves as an executive producer on the series.
Ólafsson said the following in a statement: "Early on we knew the role of Sarah Ellis would need to be someone with a formidable screen presence. Anna Chlumsky's ability to switch between genres is like no other, and she absolutely embodies every character she's played across her phenomenal career. We're beyond ecstatic to round out the leads in 'Top of the Rock' with two of the most brilliant actors."
