Today we announce the strategic alignment of our Norwegian scripted labels, Monster Scripted and Miso Film Norway, creating a stronger, unified brand dedicated to scripted content.
Since the company was established, Monster has produced both drama and entertainment. By separating these divisions and establishing a new scripted label in partnership with Miso Film, we are advancing our ambition to build a leading scripted powerhouse in Norway under the name Miso Film Norway.
Miso Film Norway will focus on both broad-appeal and high-end drama series designed for diverse audiences. Miso Film Norway will be led by Vegard Stenberg Eriksen as Managing Director, reporting directly to Peter Bose and Jonas Allen, Co-CEOs of the Miso Film Group.
Miso Film Norway will produce a diverse range of scripted content, building on its successful slate of crime and drama series such as RINNAN, WITCH HUNT, ACQUITTED, NOBEL, EXIT, and FURIA, while also developing series for younger audiences like PØRNI and BAUSJEN. The company will further increase the focus on feature films, strengthening its overall position in the scripted arena. Currently, Miso Film Norway is filming the World War II drama RINNAN for Amazon Prime Video and TV 2 Norway, scheduled to premiere in 2026. In addition, Miso Film Norway is developing the major historical drama series ROYAL BLOOD in cooperation with TV 2 Norway, TV 4 Sweden, and TV 2 Denmark also known as the Scandi Alliance.
Monster, the new streamlined entity, will now concentrate exclusively on non-scripted productions, reinforcing its strong position in factual and entertainment programming across the region. Monster will continue under the leadership of Eva Rolland Korshamn as CEO, reporting directly to Georgette Schlick, CEO Fremantle Northern Europe.
Founded in 2001 and headquartered in Oslo, Monster is one of Norway’s leading production companies, known for acclaimed productions such as A-LAGET, STJERNEKAMP, FORRÆDER, and MASKORAMA. Under the new structure, Monster will expand its slate of non-scripted formats and original IP to meet the evolving needs of linear, streaming, and digital partners.
Georgette Schlick, CEO Fremantle Northern Europe, said: “As the industry landscape continues to evolve, we must do the same. By combining our two strong Norwegian scripted brands and creating a new dedicated and focused scripted label, we will be able to deliver even greater successes for our clients. In this new structure Monster will also be able to focus on their expertise of non-scripted content and deliver new hits. I look forward to rolling out this strategy and have great confidence that both teams will make this work for our business and our clients.
Peter Bose, CEO of the Miso Film Group, comments: “The global market for scripted content has changed significantly, requiring strong local expertise and creative excellence. By strengthening Miso Film Norway, we will have a powerful platform to produce a broad slate of productions tailored to our clients. Vegard brings exceptional creative leadership, and we look forward to supporting him and the team as they build on the momentum of our wider business.”
