The latest original production from Nordic Entertainment Group (NENT Group) is `Honour'. Created by a stellar line-up of top Swedish talents, the eight-part crime thriller series will premiere across the Nordic region in autumn 2019 exclusively on NENT Group's streaming service Viaplay.
Defending the victims of injustice is more than a job for the four partners of the Swedish law firm Heder. But can the truth ever come to light when the lawyers themselves are hiding the darkest secret of all?
`Honour' (Swedish title: `Heder') stars Alexandra Rapaport (`Gåsmamman'), Anja Lundqvist (NENT Group's `ALEX'), Julia Dufvenius (`Modus') and Eva Röse (`Maria Wern'). The series is created by Rapaport, Lundqvist and Dufvenius together with Sofia Helin (`The Bridge').
Birgitta Wännström (`Maria Wern'; `Gåsmamman') produces for Swedish production company Bigster, with Eccho Rights handling international distribution.
Jakob Mejlhede Andersen, NENT Group EVP and Head of Content: "This has been a record-breaking year so far for NENT Group's originals. We've created, premiered and sold more series than ever before, and productions such as `The Lawyer' and `Rig 45' have smashed viewing records on Viaplay. And we're just getting started. Our pipeline of unique Nordic stories is unrivalled, and the dark thrills of `Honour' will be a highlight of our slate in 2019."
