Prime Video’s unscripted originals push in the Nordics is continuing.
The Amazon-owned streamer has unveiled a 12-strong slate of unscripted shows that will launch this fall, including an expansion of the LOL: Last One Laughing format and new titles such as Girls of Oslo and Parneviks All In!.
LOL is getting new versions in Denmark and Norway following its launch in Sweden last year. Sweden is also getting a second season.
The format, in which comedians compete to keep a straight face to win a cash prize for a charity of their choosing, originated in Japan and is Prime Video’s best travelling entertainment titles with versions around the world. All Nordic versions are filmed and produced in Sweden by Jarowskij (Sweden), Metronome (Denmark), and Nordisk Banijay (Norway), respectively.
New to the service is Girls of Oslo, a docu-reality series looking into at the lives of Norwegian influencers Sophie Elise, Isabel Raad, Nora Haukland, and Anniken Englund Jørgensen. Salto Film is producing ahead of a Prime Video Norway launch this year.
Parenviks All In! follows popular Swedish couple Mia and Jesper Parnevik, as they push boundaries to tick off adventures on their bucket list. Prime Video is billing it as “scary, intimate, hot, funny, tough, and emotional.” ITV Studios is producing for a Prime Video Sweden launch this year.
Bingo & Julia is another Swedish reality series, following the luxury but unconventional lives of Bingo Rimér and Julia Franzén. They live a glamorous lifestyle in Stockholm, Marbella, and Jämtland but have an unusual family life with Franzén the stepmother to Rimér, who also has stepchildren and ex-wife Katrin Zytomierska still on the scene. Nexico is producing for a fall Prime Video Sweden debut.
