Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Series Mania focus: co-pros, consolidation and cost-cutting
Q: So Rebecca, I want to ask you, when do you see Series Mania stacking up with other TV markets and what makes it distinctive?
Rebecca explains that Series Mania is more of a conference-and-showcase with a strong focus on co-production and early-stage development, offering labs and incubators, and that its intimate scale helps bring together the right mix of creatives, financiers, and policymakers.
Oscars ceremony debrief, plus meet the winning filmmakers behind shock tie
Q: What was it actually like sitting through the tie and waiting for the results?
Natalie and Alexandre described their disbelief turning to joy as they realized their film had tied, and they spoke candidly about their hope that both films would be recognized for very different reasons, while highlighting the emotional weight of the moment.
Why Jo Nesbø was “not impressed” with Detective Hole lead actor initially
Q: Would you ever let other people take Harry and do something of their own with him?
Nesbø indicates openness to others reimagining the character if it brings something new and valuable, while emphasizing the importance of maintaining core elements and his own sense of what makes Harry work.
Why Jo Nesbø was “not impressed” with Detective Hole lead actor initially
Q: Was it ever a consideration to make the series ten episodes, or did you know from the start it would be nine?
He describes approaching structure from content first, not a fixed target, and says he allowed the story and characters to dictate the episode count, with the final nine evolving from the flow of the material rather than a pre-set goal.
Why Jo Nesbø was “not impressed” with Detective Hole lead actor initially
Q: We're going to talk about all of that a bit more, I hope. But I wanted to start by asking, why was it, was it a discussion you had with Universal or with Netflix?
Nesbø explains that the decision was driven by rights and timing rather than a preference for one platform, noting that Universal and Netflix agreed early on that the project should move forward with his vision, including Oslo as the setting and a Norwegian-language production.
