Netflix has ordered a sequel to “Troll,” the Norwegian action-adventure film directed by Roar Uthaug, who helmed Norway’s first disaster movie, “The Wave.”
“Troll 2” reteams Uthaug (“Tomb Raider”) with writer Espen Aukan and producers Espen Horn and Kristian Strand Sinkerud at Motion Blur, the Oslo-based banner whose credits include “Cadaver,” “Amundsen” and “The 12th Man.”
The first installment unfolds in the aftermath of an explosion in the Norwegian mountains, which awakens an ancient troll. The story revolves around a fearless paleontologist who embarks on a journey to stop the troll from wreaking deadly havoc. The cast included Ine Marie Wilmann, Kim Falck, Mads Pettersen and Gard B. Eidsvold.
“Troll” premiered globally on Netflix in 2022 and quickly became the streamer’s most popular non-English film of all time, with a record-breaking 103,000,000 views in its first 91 days, according to Netflix. The epic movie also ranked in the Top 10 in 93 countries...

Royalteen: Princess Margrethe is the sequel to Royalteen. This time, it is directed by Ingvild Søderlind and starsInes Høysæter Asserson, Mathias Storhøi and Elli Rhiannon Müller Osbourne. Based on the book by Randi Fuglehaug and Anne Gunn Halvorsen.
Royalteen proved (or proved to us critics) that young people either don’t read reviews or don’t give a damn about them. A low score from audiences and critics was not enough to prevent this Norwegian production had a second chance.
Youth does very well to ignore it, as this second part does very well to build on (and surpass) the successes of its predecessor.
