Nordic Entertainment : NENT Group's next Viaplay Original is `Made in Oslo'

· Norwegian drama series stars Pia Tjelta (`Norsemen') and is created by Kathrine Valen Zeiner (NENT Group's `Wisting')
· Series produced according to environmentally sustainable practices
· NENT Group to premiere at least 40 original productions in 2021

Nordic Entertainment Group (NENT Group), the Nordic region's leading streaming company, will premiere the Norwegian drama series `Made in Oslo' as its next Viaplay Original. The eight-part show stars Pia Tjelta (`Norsemen') and explores one of society's most complex themes: fertility and childbearing. `Made in Oslo' will be produced using environmentally sustainable practices and will premiere exclusively on NENT Group's Viaplay streaming service in 2022.

At her Norwegian fertility clinic, doctor Elin (Pia Tjelta) offers patients a chance to become parents. Elin is always empathetic and professional - yet more than anything, she longs for the same opportunity herself. And as her frustration grows, Elin becomes prepared to risk her relationships and career in order to start a family of her own.

Pia Tjelta: "This show is something else - a whole-hearted existential drama led by a modern dream role that I'm so happy to take on."

Filming of `Made in Oslo' started in early December and will take place entirely in Oslo. The production is designed to maximise recycling and effective use of resources while minimising travel time and energy usage, with all vendors and partners selected for their environmental profile.

Filippa Wallestam, NENT Group Chief Content Officer: "Our latest Norwegian drama is a nuanced take on an emotional and sometimes taboo topic, and we hope it can contribute to an open discussion. At the same time, `Made in Oslo' gives a further meaning to local storytelling through its pioneering sustainability-focused production. NENT Group is the largest producer of Nordic drama and we believe this approach can start a constructive trend and inspire our industry to make an even greater positive impact."

The series is created and written by Kathrine Valen Zeiner (NENT Group's `Wisting'), directed by Marit Moum Aune (`Struggle for Life') and produced by Tordenfilm.
