'Borgen: Power & Glory' is the fourth season of Borgen, a Danish political thriller series. Borgen's inaugural series, as fans will recall, reported that youthful politician Birgitte Nyborg became Denmark's first female prime minister.
However, she swiftly fell into ruin, becoming a businessman and public speaker before founding the New Democrats, a new political party. Birgitte accepts her post as foreign minister in 'Borgen: Power & Glory.'
The new edition of the hit Danish political drama 'Borgen: Power & Glory' will premiere on Netflix on April 14 in the Nordics and on Thursday, June 2, 2022 in the rest of the world.
Borgen - Power and Glory tackles some of today's most pressing political issues, including the role of Denmark in the modern world, the big Arctic control struggle, and, not least, climate change. The emphasis is on the struggle for power and what it means to people, both professionally and personally.
When a mining company discovers oil in Greenland, Birgitte Nyborg is the newly appointed foreign minister. It is an event that signals the start of an international fight for Arctic dominance, and one in which Nyborg, the most knowledgeable politician, must repeatedly recognize that, despite his 'big brother' of Denmark and Greenland, Denmark is a little participant – and nevertheless unmanageable!
Katrine Fnsmark (Birgitte Hjort Srensen), who resigned as Birgitte's head of news and is now working as the head of news at a large television station across the country, is also featured in the fourth season.
Sidse Babett Knudsen stars as Birgitte Nyborg, a staunch politician, mother, and caring wife, as she did in previous seasons of Borgen. Sidse has continued to appear in films such as Westworld, The Accident, Ted Lasso, Inferno, and Roadkill.
