Borgen – Power & Glory, a fresh continuation of hit Danish political drama Borgen, has been set for release on Netflix April 14 in the Nordic markets and June 2 in the rest of the world.

Borgen – Power & Glory again follows Birgitte Nyborg (Sidse Babett Knudsen), her staff and the media tasked with covering her, this time in her role as Minister for Foreign Affairs. The series tackles major political issues including the relevance of the Danish Realm in the modern world, the superpowers’ battle for control of the Arctic — and not least, the climate crisis.

The series is created by Adam Price, with Per Fly directing and Maja Jul Larsen serving as episode writer. Borgen – Power & Glory is produced by SAM Productions for Denmark’s DR in cooperation with Netflix.

The winners of the TVPrisen Awards has been announced, and the acclaimed family drama Cry Wolf was voted ‘Best Long Form Series.’ Cry Wolf, created by Maja Jul Larsen, quickly became a hit among viewers and critics alike and last year Jul Larsen also emerged as the winner of the Nordisk Film & TV Fond Prize for her “outstanding writing of a Nordic drama series.”
