Summary
- Bestselling Swiss book series 'Milla Nova' adapted for TV
- Blind bartender accused of kidnapping, teams up with journalist
- High-quality European crime drama with twists and psychological depth
In November 2025, Swiss broadcaster SRF is developing a second season of a new TV drama adaptation ahead of the launch of the first season next year. The series, titled 'Blind', is based on the bestselling 'Milla Nova' book series by Swiss author Christine Brand, which has sold over 400,000 copies.
The crime thriller follows Nathaniel, a visually impaired bartender, who claims a pregnant woman was kidnapped from his bar. Investigators find signs of a struggle but no trace of the victim, and Inspector Bandini identifies Nathaniel as the prime suspect. Determined to prove his innocence, Nathaniel finds an ally in investigative journalist Milla. Together, they uncover a web of lies, secrets and hidden connections.
Produced by Zodiac Pictures, the series is co-directed by Christian Johannes Koch and Barbara Kulcsar. "Blind elevates the crime genre to a new level," says Tania Reichert-Facilides, Managing Director of OneGate Media, which is bringing the series to the international market. "It represents the growing international appetite for sophisticated European storytelling, as well as the high-quality production value that we prioritise on our slate."
