Netflix today announced a brand-new Norwegian series, led by rising star Sara Khorami – soon to be introduced globally in Troll 2. The series marks a major milestone Netflix’s first-ever Nordic medical drama series.
The series will be filmed in Norway and casting is currently underway, with the yet-to-be-titled series set to premiere globally on Netflix in Fall 2026.
The official synopsis reads, “At the emergency ward, it doesn’t matter who you are—rich or poor, influencer, carpenter, or minister. If you’ve broken something, if you’re bleeding, or if you need help, you’ll get it. Despite low staffing, little time, perhaps one too many cups of coffee, and a demanding crowd of patients, a team of exhausted but resilient doctors and nurses are ready to help. Sofia (Sara Khorami), a surgeon with more talent than patience, is sent into this chaotic environment to save her own career—the last place she wants to be. There, she encounters disorder, resistance, and something she never expected: warmth, community and love. Suddenly, she faces a choice: continue alone on her path to the top, or become part of something greater – a bond she never knew she needed. A family.”
“We are teaming up with Netflix and the finest crop of Nordic storytellers to deliver an intense, eight-episode TV series that will grip the audience as they laugh, cry, and champion the real-life heroes in white capes,” producer Esben Selvig tells Netflix.
“I’m incredibly excited to dive into this exciting material, together with this amazing group of highly skilled people,” adds main lead Sara Khorami.
Screenwriters Harald Rosenløw-Eeg (La Palma, The Arctic Convoy) and Jan Trygve Røyneland (The King’s Choice, A Storm for Christmas) created the series, which will be directed by Henrik Martin Dahlsbakken (The Arctic Convoy, Another Happy Christmas) who is making his debut with a series. Produced by emerging production company Klynge, the series marks its first collaboration with Netflix.
