Honour Returning to Viaplay for New Season

Nordic Entertainment Group (NENT Group) is slated to premiere a third season of the female-led crime drama Honour on its Viaplay streaming service in 2022.

One of the most viewed Viaplay originals to date, Honour explores questions of inequality and injustice. The series has already been sold in 60 territories worldwide, with four remakes in development.

Alexandra Rapaport (Gåsmamman), Eva Röse (Locked Down), Anja Lundqvist (Together) and Julia Dufvenius (Modus) return in their leading roles and as executive producers. The show is based on an idea by Sofia Helin (The Bridge) developed by Rapaport, Röse, Lundqvist and Dufvenius.

The third season of Honour (Swedish title: Heder) is directed by Joakim Eliasson (Gåsmamman) and produced by Bigster. Eccho Rights sells the show internationally. Filming is set to start this fall.

Rapaport said: “I’m so proud and expectant ahead of our third season, which will be incredibly exciting. Our show clearly responds to a need and audiences have overwhelmed us with love, so we’ll do everything to live up to the trust we’ve received from Viaplay and the viewers and make a real kickass season.”

Filippa Wallestam, NENT Group’s chief content officer, added: “What began as a personal project for some of Sweden’s leading actresses is now a Nordic and international success story that is more relevant than ever. Honour is top-class entertainment and more—we’ve heard from viewers who have felt able to report harassment after seeing the show. Renewing for a third season feels both exciting and urgent.”
