About

Copenhagen definitely isn’t the world’s happiest city for Frank Nordling, a conflicted lawyer torn between grief and revenge. International bestselling author Jens Lapidus (‘Easy Money’), together with Hans Rosenfeldt (‘The Bridge’) and Michael Hjorth (Viaplay Group’s ‘ALEX’; ‘Sebastian Bergman’), is behind the idea for ‘The Lawyer’, starring Alexander Karim (‘Tyrant’; ‘Zero Dark Thirty’), Malin Buska (‘Easy Money III: Life Deluxe’) and Thomas Bo Larsen (Viaplay Group’s ‘Veni Vidi Vici’). Nicklas Wikström Nicastro (the Oscar-nominated ‘A Man Called Ove’) and Joakim Hansson (‘Johan Falk’) produce the 10-part season one for SF Studios Production, with STUDIOCANAL handling international distribution. ‘The Lawyer’ season one premiered exclusively on Viaplay on 26 February 2018.
