As a dedicated follower and admirer of Scandinavian storytelling, I can hardly contain my excitement as Netflix unveils its most diverse and ambitious slate of Nordic productions yet! With an impressive lineup featuring new series, returning favorites, and even a sequel to the action-packed Troll, it’s clear that Netflix is doubling down on its commitment to Scandinavian originals.
Netflix has once again emphasized its dedication towards creating original content from Scandinavia. On Thursday, they unveiled a lineup of upcoming productions hailing from Sweden, Norway, and Denmark. As stated by Jenny Stjernströmer Björk, the VP of Content for Nordic regions at Netflix, this slate is “our most varied and ambitious one yet.
Netflix has ordered over a dozen new and returning TV shows from Nordic regions, with standout titles like “La Palma”, a drama about a Norwegian family whose vacation in the Canary Islands is interrupted by a volcanic eruption; “The Helicopter Heist”, a series based on a true story of a daring cash depot robbery that took place in Sweden in 2009; and “The Habitat”, a Danish mystery centered around the enigmatic disappearance of a young Filipino au pair in an upscale Danish neighborhood.
In 2025, there are three fresh, unpublicized productions scheduled for a global debut. These include the crime series “Synden“, set in rural Sweden; the movie adaptation of Tine Høeg’s 2022 novel “SULT“, which follows a couple undergoing fertility treatments; and a return of the popular Norwegian series “Home for Christmas“, after a three-year break.
In addition to fresh seasons of popular local shows like “Maybe Baby 2”, a Danish comedy about two families dealing with the aftermath of a hospital mix-up, “Ronja the Robber’s Daughter”, a Swedish fantasy story, and “Pernille” (also known as “Pørni”), a Norwegian comedy series acquired by Netflix from Scandinavian streamer Viaplay following their production cutbacks, Netflix has approved several non-fiction and reality shows. Standout titles include “Love is Blind: Sweden”, a local adaptation of the blind dating trend, which returns for a second season after its successful premiere this year, and “Making it In Marabella”, an unscripted series centered around Swedish real estate agents marketing properties to the wealthy and famous on the sunny coast of Spain.
In terms of movies, Netflix announced they are supporting the production of Troll 2, a high-energy follow-up to Roar Uthaug’s 2022 film. This non-English movie has been the most-watched on the platform, and Uthaug will once again take the director’s seat for this sequel, which is set to premiere on Netflix next year.
Readers who enjoy Jo Nesbo’s “Detective Hole” series will have to be patient for a while longer as the anticipated Netflix adaptation based on his novels is still in production. The Nordic noir drama, starring Tobias Santelmann from “The Last Kingdom,” is being made but won’t be available on Netflix until 2026.
Björn Stjernströmer presented the fresh Nordic lineup at Netflix’s stylish Stockholm headquarters, underscoring their continuous commitment to Scandinavia. Unlike other streaming services such as HBO Max and Viaplay, who have ceased original production in the region (HBO Max) or significantly reduced their originals budget (Viaplay), thereby decreasing their yearly output of original content from approximately 50 titles to just 10.
