With seven humor programs on the menu, responsible editor in Kampanje, Knut Kristian Hauger, believes that there is an obvious strong focus on humor this autumn. – In the autumn there will be a comedy war between news, TV 2 and Discovery, he says. The entire autumn menu for the two commercial channels is not yet known, but according to Hauger there will be some comebacks. – TV2 brings together the entire Senkveld gang again in the program “Kjendis AS” and Discovery recently brought back Else Kåss Furuseth. TV 2 has also brought in profiles such as Eckbo, Eia and Ylvis, he says. Hauger believes that news still misses the TV successes of Herman Flesvig. MURDER RIDDLE: The series “What happened to Solveig?” offers excitement, comic reconstructions and absurd interviews. Here the character Sara Eline makes a comeback. Photo: SEEFOOD / news – Now a big and heavy responsibility rests on the new humor drama by Kevin Vågenes, which appears as a crossover of Robert Stoltenberg’s “Borettslaget” and a truecrime series, says Hauger. He emphasizes that there is a lot of exciting stuff on news’s menu this autumn, although he calls for more experimentation around the TV weekend, i.e. Gullrekka. – It is solid, but also reliable, he concludes. BELIEVE IN HUMOR WAR: Campaigner’s Knut Kristian Hauger believes news will get humor competition from TV 2 and Discovery. Photo: Eivor Eriksen Editor in news’s entertainment department, Charlo Halvorsen, agrees that there is fierce competition for the TV audience. – That’s how it will be this autumn too. Many channels focus on humour, news has always done so and we will be the biggest on humor this autumn. New crowd favorite? – I would call it a true crime parody, says Kevin Vågenes on the phone just before the autumn program for news is to be launched. Many were probably disappointed when it was announced that the comedy series “Parterapi” had its very last season in 2020. But in the autumn, comedian Kevin Vågenes will appear on the screen again, and then in a similar style as last time: he plays almost all the roles himself. – Our goal was to create something completely different from “Couple therapy”, and this is something completely new. It’s still my characters, but the universe, form and mood are completely different. – Hope people find the characters funny. And that they like true crime humor. It is the first time this has been done in Norway. Will there be a reunion with any of your old characters? – Yes, not many, but some. The Sara Eline character who is inspired by Sophie Elise appears and so does Gaute, the hairdresser from “Couples Therapy”. MURDER MYSTERY: Vågenes hopes that true crime humor strikes a chord with viewers. Photo: Seefood/news In the series “What happened to Solveig?” follows a team of journalists investigating the mysterious death of Solveig Lyngåsen. They try to find out who in the village killed the popular blogger Solveig, after she is pushed off a cliff. From Doomsday and power struggle to Gullrekka The focus is on humor this autumn with, among other things, four new series concepts. One of them is the post-apocalyptic comedy series “Dummedag”. FOOL’S DAY: Charlotte Frogner, Jakob Schøyen Andersen and Henrik Mestad will save the world from a deadly pandemic. Photo: Lars Olav Dybvig, Seefood/news It is about a virus mutating and creating a deadly pandemic. Six strangers are forced to work together to save the world from a virus that makes people stupid. Jakob Schøyen Andersen, Charlotte Frogner, Chengiz Al and Kristine Grændsen appear in the roles. There will be a political drama in the series “Makta”, which deals with Gro Harlem Brundtland’s entrance into politics and the road to becoming Norway’s first female prime minister.
