Norwegian comedy series Power Play has won Best Series in the Canneseries International Competition. The series — originally called Makta and written by Silje Storstein, Kristin Grue and Johan Fasting — is for Norwegian pubcaster NRK and NDR and is from Motlys and Fremantle-owned Novemberfilm.
REinvent International Sales has distribution rights. Fasting (Heimebane, Ninjababy) is the showrunner and Kathrine Thorborg Johansen, Jan Gunnar Røise star.
Power Play is billed as “the incredible story of Gro Harlem Brundtland, who in the late 70s works as a young doctor, fighting for self-determined abortion, when she almost by accident, stumbles into politics.
As the government implodes around her, Gro learns to play her own games of power, climbing the ranks until she is the last woman standing in the ruins of Labour’s celebrated social democracy, ending up as Norway’s first female Prime Minister in 1981.” The 12-part series also bagged Best Music with Kåre Christoffer Vestrheim, Andrea Louise Horstad, Kristoffer Lo and Eivind Helgerød credited as overseeing that element of the program.
