Rebus was meant to be Viaplay's big original UK commission for their disastrous 'Nordic Noir' streaming service. Presumably they were quite far down the line with the filming when they axed the streamer. It does say "in association with the BBC" in the credits so the BBC must've put something into it rather than simply buying it as an acquisition.

Viaplay seems to have sorta "survived" partly by becoming a service thru Amazon Prime. Though as you mentioned its stand-alone service was dumped outside of the Nordics. Not sure what the means for these programmes that were commissioned. In the US and Canada a streamer called MHZ Choice streams mostly all the Nordic stuff and most of the Walter Presents type of European foreign language stuff not sure where the English language programme will end up. Maybe BritBox.
