Hit political drama “Borgen” is not only gearing up for a fourth outing, but all seasons are coming to Netflix.
Following a deal between the streaming giant and Danish public broadcaster Dr, all three seasons of the show, which originally aired from 2010-2013, will land on Netflix later this year, followed by a new fourth season of the hit drama in 2022.
While terms of the co-production deal have not been disclosed, it is likely Netflix is contributing to some of the costs for the fourth season, and getting involved in the creative direction.
Dr revealed Wednesday that a new season will debut on the broadcaster, followed by a global premiere on Netflix. The show — which follows a centrist politician’s journey to become the first female Prime Minister of Denmark — reunites creator Adam Price as well as lead actresses Sidse Babett Knudsen as Birgitte Nyborg and Birgitte Hjort Sørensen as Katrine Fønsmark.
