Alongside Henningsen (Matador), the cast includes Anette Støvelbæk (Italian for Beginners), Alice Bier Zandén (Ehrengard: The Art of Seduction), and Rikke Eberhardt Isen (Chosen). Generations premieres on DRTV April 11 and DR1 April 13, 2025.

The series represents a significant new drama effort from DR Drama, known for producing high-quality television. The combination of family drama and mystery elements positions it to attract a wide audience.
