Danish pubcaster DR placed itself on the global drama landscape with such critically-acclaimed hits as The Killing and Borgen, which have made their way to platforms around the world. Its latest big bet is Ride Upon the Storm, which hails from lauded Scandi producer Adam Price, the creator of Borgen. The drama stars Lars Mikkelsen—House of Cards’ Putin-esque Russian leader Viktor Petrov—as Johannes, a priest whose family has been in the ministry for more than 250 years. Exploring the complex dynamics between Johannes and his wife and two sons, Ride Upon the Storm aims to tackle head-on issues of religion and faith in contemporary society.

Price and Mikkelsen tell TV Drama about the STUDIOCANAL-distributed show, which won both the TV Critics and Buyers Coup de Coeur awards for a work-in-progress at the MIPDrama Screenings earlier this year.
