Scripted

Norwegian episodic police procedural series, For life has started its international roll-out after concluding its first pre-sales.

These early deals have been secured with SBS in Australia, Pro Plus in Slovenia, and Canal Plus in France, where ‘For Life’ will air on the broadcaster’s Polar+ detective series channel.

Created and written by International Emmy Award-winning Gjermund S. Eriksen (‘Mammon’, ‘Aber Bergen’) and co-written by Helena Nielsen (‘Lilyhammer’, ‘Aber Bergen’, ‘Black Widows’), ‘For Life’ is Norway’s first police procedural and promises a witty, sparkling script, packed full of warmth, humour and topical, suspenseful storylines. The 8 x 60 series is produced by Monster, a NENT Studios company, for NRK. Along with NENT Studios UK, the Norwegian Film Institute has also invested in ‘For Life’.

‘For Life’ follows the story of Victoria Woll (Tone Mostraum, ‘Eyewitness’, ‘ZombieLars’) a hardened National Crime Service investigator, across two different timelines: in the present, where it’s her job to solve cases and put criminals behind bars, and in the future, where she is in prison. Every episode will feature a present-day, exciting standalone case as its main story, along with new pieces to the continuing puzzle that is Victoria and why she is fighting for her freedom a few years down the line.

In addition to ‘For Life’, NENT Studios UK has also licensed Swedish political thriller ‘The Inner Circle’ (8 x 60) to SBS. ‘The Inner Circle’ is a NENT Group original production.
