TV and Film Career

Blondell made her on screen debut in the SVT drama series Livet enligt Rosa in 2005. After working for a while as a VJ with MTV Sweden she landed a role in an episode of police procedural Beck the following year, and a recurring role in soap opera Andra avenyn.[2]

She raised her profile when she joined the cast of popular sci-fi drama Real Humans, a TV series that was exported around the world including the United Kingdom and France. [3] She made her English language debut with Ø, an English-Language French TV series filmed in Denmark.

In 2018, she landed one of the roles in French feature film Soeurs d'armes (Sisters in arms), inspired by a real military unit with female Kurdish, Yezidi and resistance fighters fighters taking on ISIS,[4] and was the only actress who did not speak any French. She portrayed an African-American sniper. [5]

She can also be seen in Immortal as Sha Dishi - the leader of nation of immortals. This was also an English language French production, and could be seen via the French streaming app Blackpills.[6]

Blondell had the female co-lead in gritty crime drama Hassel alongside James Bond: Skyfall actor Ola Rapace, and TWIN starring Game of Throne's Kristofer Hivju.[7]

Theatre

Since 2013, Nanna Blondell is working at the Royal Dramatic Theatre, but has been on unpaid leave to work on film and television projects. [10]

Other

Blondell runs the podcast Fenomenala kvinnor (Phenomenal Women), where she interviews successful Swedish women of color. As a child she wanted to be an actress, but since there were hardly any Swedish actresses of color at the time, she did not think this was a possibility.[5]

In 2016 she did her directorial debut with the short film Noni & Elizabeth. This film was in official selection at LA Film Festival, Palm Springs ShortFest and Giffoni Film Festival. [11]

Her agent is Finnish-Swedish talent manager Laura Munsterhjelm, the same agent as Swedish actresses Rebecca Ferguson and Academy Award winner Alicia Vikander. [12]
