Netflix is scrubbing in for its first Nordic medical drama, an eight-episode series set in a Norwegian emergency ward, with Sara Khorami (Nothing to Laugh About, Witch Hunt) attached to star. The untitled project is targeting a Fall 2026 premiere.
The series, filmed in Norway, centers on Sofia (Khorami), a talented surgeon dispatched to a chaotic ER. There, amid life-and-death stakes where all patients are equal, she confronts choices between individual ambition and a newfound sense of community and connection.
Harald Rosenløw-Eeg and Jan Trygve Røyneland are creators, with Ane Isungset and Maren Skolem also on the writing team. Henrik Martin Dahlsbakken will make his series directing debut, sharing duties with Liv Karin Dahlstrøm.
Oslo-based Klynge is the production company, marking its first collaboration with the streamer. Esben Selvig, a producer on the series, is also known as ‘Dansken’ from the rap group Klovner in Kamp.
Casting for other roles is currently underway.
