    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Although a fan of the show, Denmark's real female Prime Minister, Helle Thorning-Schmidt, claimed "I've made a point of not watching Sidse Babett Knudsen too closely just to make sure I'm not too influenced by her. If anything, it sometimes feels more as if life is imitating art."
    • Goofs
      When subtitled e.g. in news clips, Lars Brygmann's character is sometimes spelled "Troels Höxenhaven" and sometimes "Troels Høxenhaven".
    • Crazy credits
      Begivenheder og personer i BORGEN er fiktive - men inspireret af virkeligheden. Serien refererer desuden til historiske personer og hændelser i dansk politik før 1982. = Events and people in BORGEN are fictional - but inspired by reality. The series also refers to historical people and events in Danish politics before 1982.

    FAQ1

    • I recently watched the first 2 seasons on Netflix and they are dubbed in English. I loved the show, but when the 3rd season started it is only subtitled, not dubbed. The dialogue moves too fast to keep up with the subtitles. When will Season 3 be available dubbed in English? Anyone know?
