“A gripping, near-future political thriller… Smartly written… thrillingly fast-paced” TIME Magazine

In the year 2037, Norway has become a self-sufficient utopia – cut off from the rest of the world by a towering wall. The country thrives in isolation, with local food production, clean energy and strict border control. But when a deadly virus begins to spread, the wall meant to protect its citizens becomes a prison.

As panic escalates, the government enforces increasingly authoritarian measures. Surveillance intensifies, resources dwindle, and trust erodes. At the heart of the story are two families – one inside the wall and one on the outside – fighting to reunite and survive in a society on the brink.

The Fortress starring Tobias Santelmann (The Last Kingdom, Veronika), Russell Tovey (Gavin & Stacey, Him & Her), Selome Emnetu (The Trip, Okkupert) and Eili Harboe (Succession, Thelma), is a gripping and timely drama that explores themes of isolationism, migration and political control. With cinematic visuals, a compelling international cast, and chilling relevance to today’s world, the series offers a powerful narrative for audiences seeking smart, thought-provoking entertainment.
