The Dicte series in Denmark, Sweden and Norway and internationally has made it possible for us to ensure the necessary funding for the new season,” said producer Peter Bose. The main writers of the first season Dorte W. Høgh and Ida Maria Rydén are involved again and the first four -of- ten- episodes will be directed by Kasper Barfoed. Financing partners contributing to the DKK 67.5 million (€9 million) show include TV4 Sweden, TV2 Norge, SF Film, Vestdanske Filmpulje, and Lumiere in Benelux.
