Chaos Entertaining new drama

Monday, 19 May – Exclusive UK Premiere

Trailer

Interviews Available

Let Chaos ensue in a brand-new Viaplay exclusive comedy drama, akin to a Danish The Morning Show. We meet Denmark's most popular breakfast TV star, Lise, who is facing a massive dilemma between her predictable life and the wild allure of a charming, adventurous new man.  Will she choose comfort, or will she choose a whole new life?

When Lise meets the amiable and care-free Johannes, who lives in a completely different world to her career driven life of fame, preferring a simple life living in a van on the Danish coast, she’s forced to re-consider her life. When their paths cross, she knows they could have something special and faces the biggest decision she’ll ever have to make… Should she stay in a loveless marriage with co-host Martin, or risk throwing her successful career and easy life away, in pursuit of adventure and true love? The choice is anything but easy and Lise's life is about to descend into chaos.

Set around a dysfunctional morning show, facing dwindling ratings, this modern love story is guaranteed to bring a smile to your face and maybe even raise a question or two about the direction your life could possibly go.

Based on an idea by Johanna Runevad (All and Eva) and directed by Lars Kaalund (Rita), Chaos features an outstanding cast led by Katrine Greis-Rosenthal (A Fortunate Man, A Taste of Hunger), Hadi Ka-Koush (The Bridge, Follow the Money), Jacob Lohmann (The Promised Land, Darkness: Those Who Kill), and Amanda Collin (Raised by Wolves, A Horrible Woman).
