Secrets, scandals, and family ties collide in In the Name of Love, a bold new comedy-drama heading to the UK this September. The exclusive premiere launches Monday 8 September with the first two episodes, followed by two fresh instalments each week.
Set against the backdrop of Norway's straight-laced 1970s, the story uncovers a family whose unconventional livelihood was rooted in the adult film industry. Decades later, the children are grown, the parents have separated, but the past refuses to stay buried. When Balder and his wife host their daughter's baptism, the entire family gathers. Almost. Balder's estranged father turns up uninvited, sparking old tensions and bringing hidden truths to light.
Based on the untold true story of director Bård Breien, the series explores morality, rebellion, and the messy clash between freedom and decency. With Maria Bonnevie, Trond Espen Seim, Jakob Oftebro, Jonas Oftebro, and Ingrid Gaever leading the cast, this eight-part Viaplay Original promises sharp humour, heartfelt drama, and plenty of surprises.
On Viaplay, from 8 September. Norwegian with English subtitles.
