Nicolai Cleve Broch (<em>Acquitted<\/em>, <em>Max Manus<\/em>) and Krista Kosonen (<em>Blade Runner 2049<\/em>) star in the lead roles.<\/p>\n<p>In the series, a new phenomenon starts happening all over the world: powerful flashes of light occur in the ocean and people from the past appear. They come from three separate time periods: the Stone Age, the Viking era and late 19th century. No one understands how this is possible, and the people from the past, called &#8220;beforeigners,&#8221; have no memory of what\u2019s transpired. A couple of years later, Alfhildr Enginnsdottir (Kosonen), who comes from the Viking Age, is teamed up with burned-out police officer Lars Haaland as part of the police department\u2019s integration program. While investigating the murder of a beforeigner, they begin to unravel a larger conspiracy behind the origin of the mysterious mass arrivals.<\/p>\n<p>The show marks the second original production from HBO Nordic, following Lukas Moodysson\u2019s comedy <em>G\u00f6sta<\/em>, which recently finished filming in Sweden.<\/p>\n<p>Hanne Palmquist, commissioning editor and VP of original programming at HBO Nordic, said: \u201c<em>Beforeigners<\/em> is a highly original and entertaining near future satire, set in a recognizable and yet transformed society where coexistence is a whole new ball game.

We\u2019re excited to be working with Anne and Eilif to launch our production activities in Norway, and for <em>Beforeigners<\/em> to join our growing and varied slate of local original productions in Europe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HBO Nordic has greenlit its first original Norwegian series, Beforeigners, a satirical science-fiction show set in the near future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":8539,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[510],"class_list":["post-8538","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-hbo-nordic"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
