The psychocological-erotic thriller “42οC” is the new Greek series, produced by COSMOTE TV following the two seasons of “Alter Ego (Eteros Ego)”. Filming of “42°C” – which was shot entirely on location in Corfu – has been completed, and its TV premiere has been scheduled for 2021, exclusively on COSMOTE TV.
The 8-episode series opens with a crime committed under the greek sun. Six years after her mother’s death, Lena (Natalia Swift) returns to the island. The day she arrives, the teenage girl must confront a new tragedy: her sister’s body is found in the same place her mother was found dead. Coincidence or premeditated act? Murder or suicide? In her effort to uncover the truth, Lena will reconnect with her teenage sweetheart, Nikos (Kostas Nikoulis) and have to face her family and the memories that come back to haunt her.
“42°C” was created by Nataly Douka and directed by the award-winning Giorgos Papavasileiou (Slave, Der Bergdoktor, The storm tide, Special Unit), with a screenplay by Sergios Konstantinidis and Kallia Papadaki.
Playing lead roles are Christos Loulis (Horn Prize, Best supporting actor at the Thessaloniki Film Festival) in the role of the police officer who is trying to uncover the truth behind a death, where nothing is as it seems; Katerina Lechou and Emily Koliandri as Lena’s aunts, who try to maintain their control over the family; and Alexandros Logothetis (State Award for Best Actor - Thessaloniki Film Festival), who plays Lena’s father and is hiding a dark secret. Theo Alexander (True Blood, Digger) and Betty Apostolou also star in the series.
The cast of “42°C” includes a group of young and up-and-coming Greek actors, such as Natalia Swift, Kostas Nikoulis, Michail Tampakakis, Nikolakis Zegkinoglou, Mariella Manoudaki, Semiramis Ampatzoglou, Stefania Sotiropoulou and Maria-Thalassini Bostantzoglou.
