Pillar of truth or a stone-cold fake? In 1898, Swedish immigrant Olof Ohman claimed to have found a runestone in Minnesota, left by Viking explorers more than two centuries before Columbus arrived in North America. In the documentary series ‘American Runestone’, Peter Stormare (‘The Blacklist’; ‘Prison Break’; Viaplay Group’s ‘Swedish Dicks’) travels through Minnesota to discover whether it’s time for history to be rewritten. Born in the same region of Sweden as Olof Ohman, Stormare meets scholars, sceptics and sensationalists on a deeply personal and often humorous journey that leaves no stone unturned. ‘American Runestone’ is directed by Peter Stormare, who produces the show together with Nina Lund and Glenn Lund for Stormare’s production company Viking Brothers. Commissioned for two seasons, the first season of the series has six episodes and will premiere exclusively on Viaplay in spring 2020.
