In the Norwegian dramedy Billionaire Island, Trine Wiggen (Breaking Surface) stars as the CEO of a salmon-farming company planning a hostile takeover under the noses of her rivals — and even some of her closest confidantes. The series, from Lilyhammer creators Anne Bjørnstad and Eilif Skodvin, skewers the lives of Norway’s wealthiest fishing industry execs and their nepo offspring.

Lilyhammer
From the creators of Billionaire Island, Netflix’s first original series, Lilyhammer, stars Steven Van Zandt (The Sopranos) as ex-mobster Frank “The Fixer” Tagliano, who chooses Lillehammer, Norway, as his new home after going into witness protection. The fish-out-of-water dramedy, from Eilif Skodvin and Anne Bjørnstad, also stars Trond Fausa (The Bothersome Man) and Steinar Sagen (Side om Side).
The Conference
In the satirical comedy-horror film The Conference, a group of public-sector employees on a work retreat at a modest countryside resort face off against a ruthless masked killer amid team-building exercises. From director Patrik Eklund (We Got This) and writer Thomas Moldestad (Cold Prey), the movie stars Katia Winter (The Year I Started Masturbating), Adam Lundgren (The Restaurant), and Eva Melander (Border).
King of Stonks
In the dramedy series King of Stonks from Philipp Kässbohrer and Matthias Murmann (How to Sell Drugs Online (Fast)), an overly ambitious finance mastermind desperate for start-up stardom lies, cheats, and schemes to bring success to his less-than-authentic company. The German series stars Austrian Film Award-winner Thomas Schubert (Breathing), Matthias Brandt (Police Call 110), and Larissa Sirah Herden (The Magic Flute).
