Netflix has announced the additional cast for the post-apocalyptic thriller Black Crab.

Joining Noomi Rapace are Jakob Oftebro (The Letter for the King, Hamilton, Norsemen), Erik Enge (Tigers, The Bridge), Dar Salim (The Devil’s Double, Game of Thrones, Darkland) and Ardalan Esmaili (The Charmer, Greyzone).

The cast also includes Aliette Opheim (Thicker Than Water, Caliphate and upcoming Netflix series Katla) and David Dencik (Quicksand, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy and upcoming Danish Netflix series The Chestnut Man).

Black Crab is a Scandinavian action thriller set in a post-apocalyptic world torn apart by climate change and war. During an endless winter, six soldiers are sent on a dangerous mission across the frozen sea to transport a package that could finally end the war. Equipped with weapons and ice skates, unaware of what they’re carrying, or who they can trust, the mission challenges their beliefs and forces them to ask: what are they willing to sacrifice for their own survival?

Adam Berg, director said: “I’m very happy and proud to have such a strong cast breathe life into this movie and our characters. These skilled actors, their eyes, voices, faces and bodies will carry us through the story. They will make us feel the brutality of war, the importance of hope in a hopeless world and the hard price you have to pay for survival. They will bring a beautiful humanity to the cold harsh world that is the Black Crab.”

Black Crab will be produced by Indio and is directed by Adam Berg, from a screenplay by Berg and Pelle Rådström based on the novel by Jerker Virdborg.
