Lion Unleashed 4 Trailer

 

With his 4th straight F1 title win in 2024, Verstappen has now joined Alain Prost and Sebastian Vettel as a four-time champion, with only Juan Manuel Fangio, Michael Schumacher and Lewis Hamilton ahead of him in terms of all-time championship wins. Currently, Verstappen is in the top three for the 2025 title race. Following the recent debuts of 10 Years of Max Verstappen and Max Verstappen – Simply Lovely, Viaplay offers its latest documentary Verstappen – Lion Unleashed 4 (English-Language) with its exclusive US & UK debut on the Viaplay streaming service on Thursday, July 3, 2025, just before the halfway point of the season with the only British F1 race on Sunday, July 6.

 

In Lion Unleashed 4, World Champion Max Verstappen, his father Jos Verstappen, manager Raymond Vermeulen and racing legend David Coulthard speak exclusively to Viaplay about the road to Max's incredible fourth championship win in 2024; briefly going through key races. Seasons 1-3 feature interviews discussing Max’s first three titles and are also available to stream/screen.

 

June’s Simply Lovely (Trailer) documentary features an incredibly interesting, in-depth 50-minute 1on1 interview with Verstappen telling the inside story of his unforgettable journey to his fourth Formula 1 world title in 2024. No questions are off limits as host Amber Brantsen asks Verstappen pointed questions about his reaction to various quotes said throughout the 2024 title run by Verstappen, his team, competitors, and other owners. Verstappen doesn’t shy away from answering the tough questions, including his future with Red Bull, criticism and friendships with other drivers, controversial choices in various races, knowing his limits, issues within his team, the need to be emotionless at times, things that went right and wrong in the 2024 title race, sim racing, punishment for swearing on TV, difficulties with the UK media, and much more. From the high-octane drama on the track to the personal challenges off it, Verstappen’s 2024 season is filled with grit, determination, criticism, and ultimately triumph. The 2024 title run tested his limits and cemented his legacy as one of the greatest drivers in F1 history. The 50-minute end-of-year interview is in Dutch with English subtitles. Recorded at the end of 2024 in Abu Dhabi.

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. Trailer Together, these series exemplify how Norway is operating at a world-class level—expanding beyond traditional Nordic noir into bold, globally resonant storytelling.
