Norwegian comedy series ‘Power Play’ has won Best Series in the Canneseries International Competition
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 six-episode series, from SLL and Climax Studio, is for Korean streamer TVING and Paramount+, with Paramount Global Content Distribution attached for sales. It follows a man who unintentionally ends up in an auction house for human organ trafficking, with his body parts for sale. Just as his kidney is sold, an earthquake collapses the building and the plot gets going — quite the script.
