Brain Academy launches sci-fi comedy `Home Invasion'

• Series stars Morena Baccarin (‘Deadpool’) and Johan Glans (NENT Group’s ‘Swedish Dicks’)
• Produced by NENT Group’s Brain Academy (‘Conspiracy of Silence’; ‘Swedish Dicks’)
• NENT Group to premiere at least 20 original productions every year

Science fiction comedy ‘Home Invasion’ is the next original series from Nordic Entertainment Group (NENT Group). The six-part English language series stars Emmy-nominated actress Morena Baccarin (‘Deadpool’; ‘Homeland’) and Johan Glans (NENT Group’s ‘Swedish Dicks’) and is produced by NENT Group’s Brain Academy. ‘Home Invasion’ will premiere across the Nordic region in 2020 exclusively on NENT Group’s Viaplay streaming service.

What if an apparently normal family was really made up of aliens sent to invade Earth? Two burglars breaking into a house soon find themselves face to face with a close encounter of the absurd kind – especially when they discover that the family is having second thoughts about their deadly assignment.

The cast of the series also includes John Noble (‘Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King’; ‘The Blacklist’). ‘Home Invasion’ is executive produced by Melanie DiPietro at Brain Academy (NENT Group’s ‘Conspiracy of Silence’ and ‘Swedish Dicks’), which is part of NENT Group’s production business NENT Studios. Don Bitters (‘House of Cards’; ‘The Maze Runner’) will direct and create the visual effects for the series.

Jakob Mejlhede Andersen, Viaplay Chief Content Officer: “NENT Group has a unique ability to bring together talent from all over the world to tell fascinating stories with a Nordic twist. Unexpected meetings are at the heart of this highly entertaining series, which combines sci-fi with comedy and personal predicaments with cosmic conflict. We’re raising our conceptual and visual ambitions yet again with this show, as NENT Group’s original productions continue to go global in terms of themes, partnerships and audiences.”
