The Danish public service commercial broadcaster has gathered all fiction activities across its channels and platforms under TV2 Fiction. 

Current Head of Drama Katrine Vogelsang will oversee the consolidated fiction department and will sit on a new Fiction steering committee together with Anne Engdal, Stig Christensen, TV2 Content Director, Lotte Lindegaard, Channel Director, and Sune Roland, channel director for TV2 Networks and TV2 Play. 

As part of the reorganisation of TV2s Fiction department, Maj-Britt Landin who was editor at the young-adult-oriented TV2 Zulu and who worked on the popular Zulu series SJIT Happens, will move from TV2 Networks to TV2 Fiction. 

For Vogelsang, the consolidated TV2 Fiction department should offer talents more diversity in content, funding and platforms - and TV2 greater chances to attract and keep the right talents. 

TV2 Danmark  is enjoying one of its strongest fiction year ever. 
Popular Danish shows programmed across TV2’s channels in 2017 include Badehotellet season 4, SJIT Happens, Grethe, The Day Will Come, Something’s Rockin’, and the upcoming Norskov season 2. 

In August, TV2’s biggest Danish fiction project ever will start shooting: Bille August’s Lucky Per based on the eponymous literary classic by Nobel Prize for literature laureate Henrik Pontoppidan. Bille August and his son Anders August have written the script for a feature film version and four part mini-series. The DKK 55 million project is produced by Nordisk Film with support from the Danish Film Institute’s Public Service Fund among others. 

The story of Lucky Per (played by Esben Smed), his difficult choices between career and family in the turn of the twentieth century, will first be shown in the cinemas, then on TV2 in 2019.
