Q&A: Nicolas Winding Refn

The six-part show follows a young heroine, Miu (played by Angela Bundalovic) who travels through Copenhagen's criminal netherworld. Alongside Bundalovic are Lola Corfixen and Zlatko Buric, whilst additional cast members include Andreas Lykke Jørgensen, Jason Hendil-Forssell, Li Ii Zhang, Dragana Milutinovic, Mikael Bertelsen and Mads Brügger.

The show is penned by Sara Isabella Jønsson, Johanne Algren and Mona Masri. Meanwhile, the creative team is enriched by the presence of DoP Magnus Nordenhof Jønck, production designer Gitte Malling and composers Cliff Martinez, Peter Peter and Julian Winding.

The project, which has already wrapped filming, was entirely shot in Denmark.

Speaking about this new project, Refn said: “With Copenhagen Cowboy, I am returning to my past to shape my future by creating a series, an expansion of my constantly evolving alter-egos, now in the form of my young heroine, Miu. Collaborating with Netflix and bringing this show to life has been an absolutely wonderful experience on all levels. I not only perceive them as my partners with many future adventures to come, but also as my friends. The new term has been born: Netflix Winding Refn.”

Jenny Stjernströmer Björk, director of Nordic Original Series at Netflix, added: “We are absolutely thrilled to finally be able to announce that we have partnered up with Nicolas Winding Refn, one of Denmark's most acclaimed filmmakers, and are bringing him back to Denmark to produce a local Danish show after more than 15 years abroad. Nicolas is a creative force and is such a fascinating and unpredictable filmmaker. We can’t wait to bring Copenhagen Cowboy to the world.”

Copenhagen Cowboy is set to launch globally on Netflix later this year. It is being produced by Lene Børglum and Christina Erritzøe for Refn’s own NWR Originals.
