NRKs portrayal of four immoral, politically incorrect, wealthy young men has taken its place as the top streaming success for Nordic public service drama. Exit has captured viewers in all the countries, across all age groups.
In general, more Nordic drama is being produced in collaboration than ever before.

The electronic music scene in the Nordic region is world-famous, multi-faceted and even somewhat mythical. A new Nordic collaboration now aims to map out and highlight this musical treasure trove – and in perfect editorial sync.

Spring 2021 saw Nordvision hold the first ever audio pitch in the partnership’s history. Caroline Pouron, Head of Digital Content for Sveriges Radio, brought along a clear-cut idea which has since received Nordic fund support. Along with the broadcaster, she has now refined this idea of a joint public service venture: a drama documentary in podcast form, focusing on the Viking history shared across the Nordic region.

With 24 completely new children’s drama series, the Barn14 partnership set an all-new record in its opening year. Never before in Nordvision partnership’s history have so many children’s drama series premiered within a single calendar year.

In a year full of obstacles caused by the pandemic, the Nordvision partners still managed to go full steam ahead in their cooperative work. Never before have the partners produced so much content through joint efforts as in 2021, when looking at the number of co-productions.

Up to 2,000 Chilean children may have been stolen from their mothers and adopted in Sweden. According to Swedish reporter Lena Sundstrøm, there have been reports of similar cases in other countries, and she has been granted support to look into a possible Nordic collaboration on continued investigation of the matter.

The objective: to reach an audience who/that usually slips through the net of public service content. The weapon: a somewhat brutal action series – easily accessible, straightforward and subtly emotional. DR’s sports drama series aimed at young adults, Hooligan, got off to a promising start in Denmark and is now set to conquer the entire Nordic region. In Norway, NRK also believe in the combination of sport and drama.
