GØNGEHØVDINGEN 2
- The Sequel
A novel and a TV series in one universe!
The Core of the Story
GØNGEHØVDINGEN 2 – The Sequel continues Denmark’s greatest TV success — an epic drama where history, love, and war merge into a story that speaks directly to both national and international audiences.
The King. The Swedes. The Siege of Copenhagen.
And at the center of it all: a secret that could change everything.
Kulsoen – The Breakout Character
She was thought to be dead. Believed out of the game.
But she returns — stronger, more beautiful, and more dangerous than ever.
Kulsoen is more than a witch:
A political voice who exposes class injustice and the hypocrisy of the Church.
A femme fatale moving freely between the darkness of peasants and the salons of nobility.
A mythical figure who wields superstition, fear, and her own sensuality to manipulate the world around her.
She is Milady de Winter meets Cersei Lannister — in a Nordic drama universe.
Dramatic Significance
She drives the plot forward: Palle’s true origins, the attacks on Inger, her duel with Svend.
She is the unpredictable element — creating constant suspense and doubt.
She makes the story universal: not just a Danish war tale, but a saga of power, gender, inequality, and betrayal.
International Appeal
Nordic Noir meets National Epic: dark forests, icy war imagery, and a female antagonist larger than life.
Streaming audiences are used to strong female leads — but rarely one this complex in a historical setting.
Kulsoen is a marketing powerhouse: posters, book covers, teasers. She’s the figure who will draw in both new and returning fans.
The Novel & The TV Series
The novel delivers the continuation audiences have waited 30 years for.
The TV series rides the success, promoted as “the epic return” — with a new generation of actors.
Kulsoen is the hook. She’s the character both critics and audiences will talk about.
The Agent’s Sales Pitch
"This is not just a historical drama. This is a timeless story of power, betrayal, and survival — told through the eyes of a mythical, political, and dangerously seductive woman. Kulsoen is the breakout character who can transform a Danish classic into an international hit."
Awarded the SILVER NYMPH in Monte Carlo for BEST ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY for his debut: Comedy drama "Eddie Holm's Second Life".
“A wry, bittersweet comedy, stuffed with laughs that travel lightheartedly beyond the program’s native Denmark. Includes a refreshingly original series of situations, one-liners, well-bred winks, poignant romance and suspense. A deserved Nymph. "
