Forced to move in with her sister who she had avoided since childhood, she longs to return to her fourth-floor apartment and her old life.<\/p>\n<p>Screenwriter Tina Rygh (<em>Sigurd Can\u2019t Get Laid<\/em>, <em>Basic Bitch<\/em>) makes her debut as a creator with <em>Below<\/em>, which is directed by Siri Seljeseth (<em>Young and Promising<\/em>). It is produced by B\u00e5rd Fjulsrud and Aurora Bj\u00f8rnhaug at Monster Scripted, with Tanya Nanette Badendyck as executive producer for Viaplay Group. Distributed worldwide by Viaplay Content Sales, the six-part series will premiere exclusively on Viaplay this fall.<\/p>\n<p>Rygh said: \u201cI wanted to make a series about people in crisis\u2014it\u2019s a fruitful starting point for painful, intimate and embarrassing encounters. But Fanny doesn\u2019t fit the template of someone who\u2019s supposed to be grieving. In a sense, she rejects the situation at the same time as she can\u2019t escape it. It\u2019s so great that Viaplay has seen the same comic and tragic potential in this story.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Filippa Wallestam, Viaplay Group\u2019s chief content officer, said: \u201cThis sharp and quirky show challenges your expectations at every turn. It takes on complex themes through a multi-layered character\u2014and the more Fanny pushes away everything around her, the closer you\u2019re drawn to her. Our latest addition to Viaplay\u2019s Norwegian slate has the makings of a huge viewer hit, both locally and internationally.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Below, a dark comedy-drama starring Maria Austgulen (Made in Oslo), is set to be the latest Viaplay original from Norway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1033,"featured_media":17078,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[5056,820],"class_list":["post-17077","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-below","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 Slates Below as Next Norwegian Original - 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-slates-below-as-next-norwegian-original\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Viaplay Slates Below as Next Norwegian Original - TVDRAMA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Below, a dark comedy-drama starring Maria Austgulen (Made in Oslo), is set to be the latest Viaplay original from Norway.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/viaplay-slates-below-as-next-norwegian-original\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVDRAMA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2022-06-23T14:23:43+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2022-06-23T16:58:20+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2017\/07\/below-viaplay-0622.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"400\" \/>\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-slates-below-as-next-norwegian-original\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/viaplay-slates-below-as-next-norwegian-original\/\",\"name\":\"Viaplay Slates Below as Next Norwegian Original - TVDRAMA\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2022-06-23T14:23:43+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2022-06-23T16:58:20+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/viaplay-slates-below-as-next-norwegian-original\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/viaplay-slates-below-as-next-norwegian-original\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/viaplay-slates-below-as-next-norwegian-original\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Viaplay Slates Below as Next Norwegian Original\"}]},{\"@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.
