Video Interview: Secrets’ Kaspar Munk

From five-time Danish Film Award-winning director and co-writer Kaspar Munk (Ride Upon the Storm, You & Me Forever), the contemporary Danish drama Secrets follows a pair of adult siblings and their struggle to learn to set boundaries and free themselves from old patterns. The cast is led by award-winning actor and two-time SAG ensemble nominee Pilou Asbæk (Game of Thrones, Uncharted, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, Borgen) and Kristallen best actress winner Evin Ahmad (Who Is Erin Carter?, Snabba Cash, The Restaurant).

The series is inspired by Munk’s own real-life events, covering themes of family relationships, abuse and co-dependency. All eight half-hour episodes have been released for the first time in the U.S. on the Viaplay streaming service, subtitled in English, and were immediately available to binge.

Munk talks to TV Drama Weekly about the binge-viewing model, half-hour format and collaborative co-writing process.
