Jacob's wife Maja has been admitted to a psychiatric hospital with severe depression, and Jacob is now left alone with the responsibility of their young son Johannes and pressing deadlines at work. But he doesn't feel safe in the family's new house. Because when the daylight disappears, the shadows seem to take over and come to life. Ominous and unexplained sounds can be heard from the home's basement, and the many frightening experiences gradually make Jacob doubt what is real and what is pure fantasy. It doesn't help the eerie atmosphere that his son Johannes has slowly begun to change personality. And then he talks more and more to and about his new invisible friend, with whom he builds some strange dolmens in his room.

'Paranoia' is a dark and intense story about Lulu and Mads, who have both experienced something strongly supernatural. The meeting between them leads to a search for answers with consequences for both of them.
After a party with a little too many shots, Lulu ends up in the hospital, where she makes eye contact with a girl in a near-death experience. When Lulu comes to, the girl is gone. From here on, nothing is the same! It's like someone or something is stalking her. At the same time, she meets the infamous but fascinating Mads, who turns out to be able to see things that no one else can. But had Lulu known what would happen and what it would lead to, she would have stayed far away from Mads…
On February 1, 2024 cinema audiences can again immerse themselves in unsolved murder cases together with Carl Mørck, Rose and Assad from Department Q, when the trio is sent to Bornholm, where an old mystery about a dead girl, hanging from a tree, is brought to life and leads to a secret solar cult on the island. Rasmus Hammerich has landed a supporting role in the film.
Nordisk Film Production just unvieled the very first teaser trailer and poster for 'Boundless' - the sixth film in the Department Q universe based on Jussi Adler-Olsen's successful crime novels. The high-pulsing thriller is directed by Ole Christian Madsen and written by screenwriter Jakob Weis, who here takes a big step with one of the most popular Danish film series in recent times - with Ulrich Thomsen, Sofie Torp and Afshin Firouzi in the three leading roles as the legendary Department Q trio.
On Saturday, December 30, the new TV series 'Anker' premieres on TV 2 Play (January 7, 2024 on flow) when TV 2 tells the story of the man who, against all odds, became prime minister over three episodes. 'Anker' is based on the major events in Anker Jørgensen's life and career. Lars Ranthe stars in the lead role as Anker - and Maria Rich as his wife, Ingrid.
Ingrid is Anker's best friend. They meet each other at a party event in K.B. Hallen in Copenhagen in 1948, and they were married the same year. Ingrid looks after the home and the couple's rapidly growing family of four children. Ingrid gives Anker the safe family life he didn't have as a child. They have a loving and traditional relationship, where Ingrid is Anker's support in an otherwise turbulent life. Although Anker fights for equal pay and gender equality, he himself is an old-fashioned patriarch at home. Ingrid fights with inferiority and does not feel that she can behave in statesmen's circles. Over time, however, Ingrid begins to dream of entering the labor market and contributing with a meaningful job.
Anker Jørgensen has been called Denmark's most popular Prime Minister. But his life was full of fierce battles in the political arena - and drama in family life. Through the three episodes, the docudrama series 'Anker' tells the story of the social democrat Anker Jørgensen's life and career in the years 1972 to 1979.
Using archival material from the time, the story ties reality and dramatizations together in a portrait that shows both great ups and downs for the politician and the person Anker Jørgensen. The series is based on real events, which are described in books, articles and Anker Jørgensen's diaries, just as the production has interviewed a number of Anker's former colleagues over several years. The editorial team behind 'Anker' consists of Søren Steen Jespersen, Bo Tengberg and Troels Uhrbrand Rasmussen.
"We have carried out thorough research of both written and oral sources - from Anker's political colleagues to his survivors. We have also done extensive archival research, which contributes significantly to the image of Anker Jørgensen and of Denmark in the 1970s", says editorial manager at Pipeline Production, Søren Steen Jespersen.
'Anker' takes place in 1972, when Anker Jørgensen - very surprisingly - becomes Prime Minister, and the series follows him through a hectic decade, where he first loses power, but later regains the prime ministership several times. It is a period of oil crisis, war and new political winds, such as when Mogens Glistrup and the Progress Party storm into the Folketing in the landslide election in 1973. And at the same time, it is a turbulent year in Anker's own family, where, as in the rest of society, there is a settlement with the established norms.
"The idea for 'Anker' stems from a fascination with a time of great change. A time that offers many parallels to our present - with a youth fighting for equal rights and the climate, a war that triggers the oil crisis and inflation and a breakdown in the political environment. It is also the fascination of a man who, despite all odds, fought his way up in society and became prime minister", says director Bo Tengberg.
"We hope that the viewers can see themselves in the social crises that Denmark faced at the time, but that they can also see themselves in the private person Anker and the universal dilemmas he finds himself in", adds Søren Steen Jespersen.
From Christiansborg we meet politicians Erhard Jakobsen, Ritt Bjerregaard, Per Hækkerup, Mogens Glistrup, Svend Auken, Jens Otto Krag, Henning Christophersen and Knud Heinesen. The roles are taken by, among others, Ole Lemmeke, Natalie Madueño, Ole Boisen, Esben Dalgaard, Magnus Haugaard, Frank Thiel, Jesper Ole Feit Andersen and Carsten Svendsen. Jens Jørn Spottag plays the role of LO's chairman, Thomas Nielsen.
The docudrama series 'Anker' has three episodes and is produced by Pipeline Production for TV 2 by producer Troels Uhrbrand Rasmussen with support from the Danish Film Institute's Public Service Pool.

Nordisk Film Production presents the nerve-wracking thriller 'Nightwatch - Demons Are Forever'. After 29 years, director Ole Bornedal is ready with the sequel to the Danish cult phenomenon 'Nightwatch'.Ulf Pilgaard is back in the role as Commissioner Wörmer, and Christopher Læssø stars in a supporting role.
Young medical student Emma decides to find out what happened in the basement of the Department of Forensic Medicine almost 30 years ago, when her parents Martin and Kalinka were nearly killed by the psychopathic serial killer Commissioner Wörmer. Emma takes a student job as a night watchman at the same place and initiates an unauthorized meeting with Wörmer in his isolation cell in the psychiatric department at Sct. Hans Hospital. The meeting awakens the commissioner from a long-term coma and sets in motion a bloody revenge against all those who in his time sealed his fate. Now it's up to Emma to find the connection and stop the madness.
Nordisk Film Production and Ole Bornedal have assembled an exceptionally strong cast consisting of several of the actors from the first film as well as some of the biggest and most acclaimed Danish actors of the time. Nikolaj Coster-Waldau('Game of Thrones') is back in the role of Martin, who is now heavily traumatized by the horrors of the past at Forensic Medicine.
After major roles in international TV series, such as HBO's 'Killing Eve' (2018-2022) and Netflix's 'The Witcher' (2019-), Kim Bodnia is back in her first Danish film role in 9 years. He returns in the role of Jens, who made him a well-known Danish face 29 years ago. New to the cast is Fanny Bornedal in the lead role as Martin's daughter Emma.
Thomas Heinesen produces for Nordisk Film Production. The film is supported by The Danish Film Institute, Den Vestdanske Filmpulje and Nordisk Film & TV Fond in collaboration with DR, ZDF and Nadcon.
Bornedal said of the sequel: “'Nightwatch' is about legacy. About the silence in families. About the traumas and cuts and wounds that are allowed to live through generations. And in addition, it is exciting to return to the condensed genre that horror is. Kiss the demons - pull them into the light for a little moment. Look them in the eyes and think: “Good thing it’s only a film”.
'Nightwatch - Demons Are Forever' opens in theaters on December 14, 2023.
