Murdering Love US Premiere Thursday, December 4 (Episodes 1 & 2), Thurs., Dec. 11 (Episodes 3 & 4) From an executive producer of hit documentary Surviving R. Kelly, this chilling new true crime documentary series from Viaplay charts the course of crimes from romance to ruin, where passion turns toxic, and love stories take a sinister turn. In Murdering Love, four heartbreaking real-life stories reveal how seemingly perfect romances spiral into obsession, betrayal and murder. From the sweeping forests of Härjedalen and the quiet towns of Värmland, to Skåne’s windswept coast and the idyllic Åland Islands – each case exposes how devotion can change to devastation. Through candid interviews, detailed police files and shocking reconstructions, the series retraces each journey from falling in love, to its fatal fallout. Investigators, witnesses and surviving family members uncover red flags, hidden motives and chilling evidence that finally brings these killers to justice. In collaboration with investigative journalist John Mork (Under the Radar, The Bunker), Murdering Love is a sobering exploration of when the heart’s deepest desires turn deadly. (4 x 42 mins episodes, Swedish with English subtitles)

After Norway’s Oscar Breakthrough: 6 Norwegian Series U.S. Audiences Shouldn’t Miss
With Norway newly in the global spotlight following its first Academy Award win for Sentimental Value, attention is turning to the country’s broader storytelling boom—particularly in television, where in the last few years, Norwegian creators have been quietly producing some of Europe’s most compelling and distinctive series. Nordic-focused streamer Viaplay offers a slate of standout Norwegian titles that showcase the country’s range and ambition. Available to binge now: The Fortress – “Smartly written… thrillingly fast-paced” (TIME) and “Supremely satisfying” (Houston Chronicle) | Led by Tobias Santelmann (Netflix’s Harry Hole) and Russell Tovey and winner of Best Screenplay at Series Mania, the timely dystopian drama series is set in an eerily familiar 2037, where Norway has chosen to sever all ties with the rest of the world and grapples with isolation, identity, and global instability. Trailer Stayer – ‘Best New Shows’ Selection…“Outstanding Cast” (Time Magazine) and “Beautiful, deep, intense, and fabulous hour drama” (ABC22) | Led by Aksel Hennie (The Martian, Sisu) – who also directs – this high-end drama follows an aging rock musician forced to rebuild his life—and rediscover purpose in music and fatherhood—after a personal tragedy. Trailer The Architect – “Vicious and funny” (The New York Times) | Starring Eili Harboe (Succession’s final season), this innovative, short-form dramedy is a smart, satirical take on ambition and survival in a broken housing market—blending bleak humor with incisive social commentary. Trailer Furia, Seasons 1 & 2 – “Jaw-clenchingly suspenseful… gripping and unpredictable.” (Foreign Crime Drama) | A high-stakes political thriller exploring the rise of extremism in Europe, combining intimate character drama with urgent geopolitical tension. Trailer Fenris - “Thoroughly engrossing” (The Wall Street Journal) and “A rarely explored world… an exceptional series.” (MovieWeb) | Directed by Simen Alsvik (Lilyhammer), this tense, atmospheric mystery unfolds in a remote forest community, where disappearances may be tied to both human secrets and wolves in the wild. Trailer Liv Ullmann: A Road Less Traveled – “Pure pleasure” (The Wall Street Journal) | A Cannes-selected docuseries on Liv Ullmann, featuring interviews with Cate Blanchett, Jessica Chastain, and John Lithgow—offering an intimate, star-studded portrait of one of the greatest European actresses of all-time and a window into Norway’s rich artistic legacy.
