We have to wait until the start of 2025 for new episodes, and the plot is currently strictly classified. Nevertheless, Flesvig can lighten the veil a little about who he portrays. – I play an engineer who loves making things and making things work. He has a lot of emotion in him, and that is perhaps the closest thing to myself in terms of character traits. The thing that is furthest from me is probably that he is an engineer. In his new role, Herman Flesvig gets to play opposite Anne Regine Ellingsæter, who has been one of the main roles in all three seasons of Lykkeland. Photo: Marte Skodje / news First major serious role If one disregards his appearance as the viking Sturla in the HBO series Beforeigners, this is the first time Flesvig has a major role in a drama production. – It is a serious role. He does have a kind of charm, but it’s not humor. It is not. Director Petter Næss regrets that Flesvig did not get the role to add comedy. Rather the opposite. – He came to me and said he wanted to play a serious role. Then I thought that when something like that comes from a comedian, you have to take it seriously! Petter Næss is the director of Lykkeland. Photo: Marte Skodje / news He is full of praise for Flesvig as a versatile actor. – Many of the characters Herman creates himself, he has love and empathy for. We took him in for trial filming and it matched what we had imagined this role in Lykkeland should be. Actor Ole Christoffer Ertvaag has been involved since the beginning in the role of Rein Hellevik, he too has full confidence that Flesvig masters the drama format. – I think it will be really nice. After all, he got that role on the basis that he did insanely well in the trial filming, not because he did the First Service. Back to 1987 The plot of the third season has been added to the period 1987–1990. From before, news has reported that Lykkeland has searched for 70 extras with hockey skills. Ertvaag turns up for the recording in a general way, wearing loose denim trousers, cowboy boots, colorful unbuttoned shirt, earring and the characteristic hockey weld.

If you have hopes of seeing Herman Flesvig with a hockey weld, it’s looking slim for now. – I had hoped for a bit of hockey welding, but my character looks more natural. I’ve grown out both beard and hair by then, and the style here is impeccable on all of them, so it’s completely raw. The director can follow the recording through the monitor. Photo: Marte Skodje / news The oil rush continues The previous season of Lykkeland ended with the disastrous Kielland accident in 1980, and now the thread is picked up seven years later. This season is about the transition from manual work to automation of the oil industry. This is the third time Anne Regine Ellingsæter has played Anna Hellvig, one of the main roles in the Lykkeland series. – It is very nice to be back in action. I have been looking forward to it for quite some time and looked forward to meeting new characters and actors, and in addition to getting to know my own character, who has grown and progressed, says Ellingsæter.

A period characterized by work tasks becoming more automated, and the guys on the floor being given more difficult conditions. At the same time, some people are now starting to make really big money in the industry, while the rest of the country is experiencing downturns. Newly started technology companies were scrambling to deliver new technology. Flesvig will help personify this, according to Næss. – The end of the 80s in the oil industry had room for people who wanted to invent things, but the drop was quite large.
