The first season of 10 episodes has been acquired by M-Net Africa, TVNZ New Zealand, SBS Australia, Lumiere Benelux, RTVS Slovakia; NC+ Poland, LRT Lithuania and RTE Ireland. A previous deal was closed with Spanish group Telefonica.

Beatriz Campos, Head of International Sales at Studiocanal said:  “This highly-produced, intense and glossy drama plays out extremely well in the schedules of top-quality channels.  Family dramas are truly universal and with its unique setting and narrative Ride Upon The Storm it is ultimately very relatable to viewers in different parts of the world.  We know that complex family relationships are picking interest at the moment and we are delighted to have a further season of this dynamic drama series to offer our clients at MIPTV.”

The series was produced by DR Drama, in co-production with ARTE France and SAM le Français. Season 1 premiered last September on DR1 and received numerous awards such as the 2018 Nordisk Film & TV Fond Prize given out to Adam Price - Best Nordic Scriptwriter, as well as three Danish Robert Awards for Best Drama, Best Males Actor (Lars Mikkelsen) and Best Female Actor (Ann Leonora Jørgensen).

Season 2 will air on DR1 in the fall 2018.
