Game of Thrones star Nikolaj Coster-Waldau is exploring the territory of murder mysteries with his upcoming project. The actor- famous for playing Jaime Lannister– will now play a reporter in the podcast ‘Mask of Sanity’.
Amazon’s Audible, Big Light Productions and Vespucci have teamed up to develop a slate of podcasts with a scripted series starring Game of Thrones’ Nikolaj Coster-Waldau as one of its first projects.
Mask of Sanity is a serial killer story based on a true story from Bulgarian journalist, Dimiter Kenarov. Coster-Waldau will co-produce via his Ill Kippers Productions banner with producing partner and series writer Joe Derrick. It follows the story of a journalist reporting on a serial killer, but with a secret of his own. Ill Kippers’ Vice President Jeffrey Chassen will also serve as co-producer.
Nikolaj Coster-Waldau said, “Mask of Sanity is a great example of the storytelling that Joe Derrick and myself want Ill Kippers to make. Entertaining, unexpected and thought-provoking, keeping the audience guessing right to the end. We are thrilled to be given the opportunity to work with the good people at Big Light Productions and Vespucci and can’t wait to share it with listeners everywhere through Audible.”
The series will start airing on Audible later in 2021. Another Game of Thrones star Gwendoline Christie will star in Sandman the audio series. Are you excited about the crime-thriller podcast? Talk to us in the comments below!
