NENT Group Lines Up Danish Crime Drama as Next Original

The Danish psychological crime drama Face to Face is the next original production from Nordic Entertainment Group (NENT Group).

The series stars Ulrich Thomsen (Counterpart, The Blacklist) as Danish police detective Bjørn Rasmussen, who interrogates the suspects in the mysterious murder of his own daughter. It co-stars Lars Mikkelsen (House of Cards), Nikolaj Lie Kaas (A Conspiracy of Faith), Trine Dyrholm (Love Is All You Need), Søren Malling (Rig 45), Lars Ranthe (Pros and Cons) and David Dencik (Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy).

The eight-part series will premiere across the Nordic region in late 2019 exclusively on NENT Group’s Viaplay streaming service.

Fremantle will distribute Face to Face internationally.

Jakob Mejlhede Andersen, NENT Group’s executive VP and head of content, said: “Our originals have been hugely successful in Denmark and across the Nordic region, and now we’re assembling a Danish dream team to create Face to Face and ask just how intense a crime series can be. This is a minimalist drama of maximum suspense, where every glance and every word are full of meaning, and it shows our commitment to establishing Viaplay as the home of truly unique viewer experiences.”
