Currently filming in Sweden and Canada, the biopic series stars Valter Skarsgård as Salming and is created and directed by Amir Chamdin, winner of the Best Series Award at Canneseries 2020 for “Partisan.”
Priestley portrays Gerry McNamara, the legendary Toronto Maple Leafs talent scout who discovered Salming and fellow Swede Inge Hammarström and helped launch their North American careers. “I grew up in Canada, in the ’70s, and I actually watched Börje play, every Saturday night, on Hockey Night in Canada,” said Priestley. “I knew some of his story, and obviously what a great player he was on the ice, but the whole of his story and the impact he had on the game was incredible, and is still being felt today.”
Filippa Wallestam, Viaplay Group CCO, said “Jason Priestley is a personal favourite from my own youth, and a legend who so many people around the world grew up with in the 1990s.”
