Post Mortem: No One Dies in Skarnes - Official Trailer
Today, Netflix released the trailer for the new Norwegian vampire drama comedy Post Mortem: No One Dies in Skarnes. The series will premiere globally on Netflix on August 25.
Post Mortem: No One Dies in Skarnes is directed by internationally acclaimed Harald Zwart and written by up-and-coming writer Petter Holmsen.
The show begins when Live Hallangen is declared dead. Hours later she suddenly wakes up on the forensic table. A dark, insatiable hunger has awoken in her. Meanwhile, her brother Odd tries to keep the family driven funeral home afloat, but the stagnant death rate in the small Norwegian town of Skarnes makes it impossible. Live has to learn to control her new dangerous nature and decide if she is willing to sacrifice people’s lives for her own survival, which ironically goes hand in hand with the survival of the family business.
The cast of Post Mortem: No One Dies in Skarnes includes Kathrine Thorborg Johansen (Live), Elias Holmsen Sørensen (Odd), Andrée Sørum (Reinert), Kim Fairchild (Judith), Sarah Khorami (Rose) and Terje Strømdahl (Arvid).

My Life Is Murder Starring Lucy Lawless - Out on DVD 16 August 2021
Award-winning Lucy Lawless, best known as Xena: Warrior Princess, now takes the lead in one of Australia’s most popular crime dramas: My Life is Murder. Now the first series of this entertaining show is set for its UK DVD release from Acorn Media International and is also streaming from today on Acorn TV.
Pre-Order from https://amzn.to/3wUft8d
Lucy Lawless (Parks and Recreation) is retired cop Alexa Crowe, but her ex-boss (Bernard Curry – Once Upon a Time) is persistently on her case to help with cold cases and rookie police data-analyst (Ebony Vagulans) is hassling Alexa to be her mentor… so her detective days may not be over just yet.
When she’s asked to investigate the case of a woman who had fallen from the 19th floor apartment of a male escort called Dylan Giroux, she’s desperate to know did she fall, or was she pushed? It doesn’t take long for Alexa to be back in the game, putting her crime-solving nous to good use as an intrepid private investigator.
Tenacious and unapologetic, Alexa brings her dry wit and brash style as she contends with a suspicious death at a competitive culinary school, a murder in an exclusive cycling club, a locked-room mystery, and more.

This unique four-part series takes us onto the frontline with the men and women keeping their communities safe during the pandemic. It's a rare chance to go behind the scenes with this inspirational band of West Yorkshire firefighters.
Filmed using the latest technology, viewers will be brought closer than ever before to real-life emergencies, seeing inside burning buildings and getting to the heart of the action.
West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service has 900 firefighters with a diverse range of personnel dedicated to serving a population of more than two million people - often in remote, highly dangerous and life-threatening situations.
Each episode shows the men and women behind the visors as they help communities during last winter, in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic.
From bringing under control one of the biggest fires seen in Bradford in decades, to helping vulnerable people at home, expect drama, jeopardy, hair-raising moments and firefighters working day and night to be the best at what they do - with plenty of Yorkshire warmth and humour along the way too.
Jimmy Carr to host new Channel 4 comedy gameshow I Literally Just Told You created by Richard Bacon

Channel 4 has commissioned a new primetime comedy gameshow, I Literally Just Told You created by Richard Bacon and produced by Expectation.
It's the only gameshow in history where the contestants are given every answer with the questions written, literally, as the show is happening. You just need to pay attention to everything that's going on.
With each correct answer adding more cash to their prize pot, can the competitors keep their focus and remember the things they've seen and heard just minutes before?
In the dramatic finale, the remaining two contestants set each other questions. It's a chaotic battle of wits.
This is the latest format from creator Richard Bacon, who executive produces the series alongside Adam Hutchinson for Expectation. It's Bacon's third format to go to series this year following This is MY House (BBC One) and The Hustler (ABC).
Commenting on the show, Richard Bacon said: "I Literally Just Told You just feels like a natural Channel 4 show, who are a perfect fit for this, and it's irreverent nature takes me back to my Big Breakfast days. I had this hunch that most people's short-term memory is so bad you could just give contestants AND the audience all the answers in a game show, and they'd still get most of them wrong. It's great to have Jimmy Carr as the host, who will bring his trademark wit and flair to the show and I can't wait for audiences to see it."
Jimmy Carr added: "I Literally Just Told You is the best pitch for a TV show I've ever heard. All the best ideas sound crazy when you first hear them, but I genuinely believe this idea will stay crazy for years. And most importantly, I like the title, which makes it sound like I'm properly annoyed with you just for asking me what it's called."
