After 12 years since the successful launch of ‘Lilyhammer‘, the first original title released across multiple countries and languages on Netflix, the global streamer reunites with the creators of the series, Eilif Skodvin and Anne Bjørnstad, for the Norwegian fish farming drama, ‘Billionaire Island‘ (original title: ‘Milliardærøya’). The series premieres on September 12, 2024.
With a humorous touch, ‘Billionaire Island’ portrays the major fish farming industry in Norway, set against the picturesque backdrop of Frøya island in Trøndelag county. At the center of the narrative is the ruthless owner of a Norwegian fish farming company, who plans a hostile takeover of her local rival to become the world’s largest salmon producer.
“It is fantastic to be reunited with Netflix on this series which deals with one of the newer marine creatures in Norway – the salmon billionaire. The fish farming industry has made many Norwegians very rich and is a veritable treasure trove of colorful characters and exciting stories. We can’t wait to share Billionaire Island with the audience.”
