Episodes
Borgen – Power & Glory Premieres Thurs 2 June on Netflix
Borgen – Power and Glory addresses some of today’s most pressing political issues, including the Danish Realm’s relevance in the modern world, the superpowers’ battle for control of the Arctic, and, not least, the climate crisis. The main plot revolves around the struggle for power and what it does to people – both professionally and personally.
Birgitte Nyborg is the newly appointed foreign minister when a drilling company unexpectedly discovers oil in Greenland. An event that heralds the start of an international struggle for power in the Arctic, and one in which the otherwise astute politician, Nyborg, must repeatedly accept that, despite Denmark’s “big brother” relationship with Greenland, when it comes to the international superpowers, Denmark is the minor player – and a somewhat unruly one at that…
The season will also follow Katrine Fønsmark’s (Birgitte Hjort Sørensen) journey. After being Birgitte’s head of press for a while, in the new season she is back in journalism where she has landed a job as head of the news department for a large, nationwide television station.
Airdate: Thursday 2 June 2022 on Netflix.
