Amazon has ordered a new kids series narrated by Gillian Anderson, “Ronja the Robber’s Daughter.” Based on Swedish author Astrid Lindgren’s fantasy book series of the
same name, “Ronja” will be a 26-part series that follows the young
daughter of a professional thief as she grows up, exploring the
enchanted forest nearby and befriending members of a rival tribe.
Gorō Miyazaki, son of Studio Ghibli
co-founder Hayao Miyazaki, is directing the series, which will premiere
later this fall and is presented by beloved animation shop Studio Ghibli and Lindgren’s Saltkrakan.
