July 22 (UPI) -- Netflix has announced it is working on Copenhagen Cowboy, a six-episode drama from Drive and The Neon Demon filmmaker Nicolas Winding Refn.
The streaming service described the Danish project in a press release Thursday as "a poetic thrill-inducing neon-noir series" about young heroine Miu (Angela Bundalovic) "who travels through Copenhagen's criminal netherworld."
The cast includes Lola Corfixen, Zlatko Buric, Andreas Lykke Jørgensen, Jason Hendil-Forssell, Li Ii Zhang, Dragana Milutinovic, Mikael Bertelsen and Mads Brügger
"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," Winding Refn said in a statement.
"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."
The series is slated to premiere later this year.
