​NENT Group presents ‘Thicker than Water’ as next original series

NENT Group’s next original production continues the complex and intense story of the Waldemar siblings. Returning to their childhood home on the beautiful Baltic island of Åland, they discover that blood is indeed thicker than water, and that facing up to today’s problems is often simpler than confronting the secrets of the past.

‘Thicker than Water’ (Swedish title: ‘Tjockare än vatten’) stars Björn Bengtsson (‘The Last Kingdom’), Aliette Opheim (NENT Group’s ‘Hassel’) and Joel Spira (‘Easy Money’). The supporting cast includes Filip Berg (NENT Group’s ‘Black Lake’), Stina Ekblad (‘Fanny and Alexander’), Molly Nutley (‘Änglagård – Tredje gången gillt’), Tobias Zilliacus (‘Gåsmamman’), Ville Virtanen (‘Bordertown’), Jessica Grabowsky (‘Midnight Sun’) and Saga Sarkola (‘Tellus’).

Nice Drama, a NENT Studios company and the producer of the first two seasons, returns to produce ‘Thicker than Water’ season three, which is currently filming on location in Åland. The series is produced by Cecilia Norman Mardell (‘Real Humans’) and directed by Erik Eger (NENT Group’s ‘Hassel’) and Johan Brisinger (‘Suddenly’).

Every previous season of ‘Thicker than Water’ will be available on Viaplay when season three premieres.

Jakob Mejlhede Andersen, Viaplay Chief Content Officer: “The first two seasons of ‘Thicker than Water’ created compelling drama around just how dysfunctional some families can be. NENT Group’s leadership in Nordic storytelling makes us ideally equipped to take this popular series to a different level. Our Nice Drama company has shaped every chapter of the Waldemar story so far, and now Viaplay will be the exclusive home of the latest season of this must-see show. Our original productions continue to flow and viewers can look forward to streaming yet another unique drama in ‘Thicker than Water’.”
