The eight-part series will premiere exclusively on Viaplay in 2022.<\/p>\n<p>In <em>Boys<\/em>, ten young men in Silkeborg who gather to sing in a church choir every Sunday morning form a close bond over the years and meet up to push their limits and test the pleasures of adult life. When one of the boys drowns under mysterious circumstances, the group\u2019s unity and loyalty are put to the test.<\/p>\n<p><em>Boys<\/em>, which has the Danish title <em>Drenge<\/em>, stars Viktor Hjelms\u00f8, Sylvester Byder (<em>Erna at War<\/em>), Karoline Hamm (<em>Equinox<\/em>), Dar Salim (<em>Face to Face<\/em>) and Julie Christiansen (<em>While We Live<\/em>). The series is produced by REinvent Studios. It has received funding from Den Vestdanske Filmpulje.<\/p>\n<p>Risvig said: \u201cIt\u2019s exciting to create such a dramatic and relevant series in the town where I grew up. I think most people can identify with being part of a group where you go a little further than in other places, and which helps define the person you end up becoming\u2014for better or worse.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Filippa Wallestam, NENT Group\u2019s chief content officer, said: \u201cOur latest YA series plays on contrasts\u2014guilt and innocence, light and darkness, and above all, childhood and maturity. Jonas is part of a new generation of talented Nordic filmmakers showing the complexity of growing up today. Viaplay\u2019s YA shows are some of our most successful in any genre, and we support voices of all ages in telling stories that are both recognizable and challenging.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Boys, a young adult series created and directed by Jonas Risvig, is set to be Viaplay\u2019s latest Danish original.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1033,"featured_media":16049,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[4792,4793,820],"class_list":["post-16048","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-boys","tag-jonas-risvig","tag-viaplay","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Viaplay Unveils YA Danish Original Boys - TVDRAMA<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/viaplay-unveils-danish-original-boys\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Viaplay Unveils YA Danish Original Boys - TVDRAMA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Boys, a young adult series created and directed by Jonas Risvig, is set to be Viaplay\u2019s latest Danish original.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/viaplay-unveils-danish-original-boys\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVDRAMA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2021-12-10T14:46:41+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2021-12-10T15:06:08+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2017\/07\/boys-viaplay-1221.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"338\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/viaplay-unveils-danish-original-boys\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/viaplay-unveils-danish-original-boys\/\",\"name\":\"Viaplay Unveils YA Danish Original Boys - TVDRAMA\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2021-12-10T14:46:41+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2021-12-10T15:06:08+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/viaplay-unveils-danish-original-boys\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/viaplay-unveils-danish-original-boys\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/viaplay-unveils-danish-original-boys\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Viaplay Unveils YA Danish Original Boys\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/\",\"name\":\"TVDRAMA\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\",\"name\":\"Chelsea Regan\",\"description\":\"Chelsea Regan is the managing editor of World Screen.
