A sports comedy film, a dark comedy miniseries, a TV series based on a podcast, and a Scandinavian TV series coming this weekend.

Middelbo has changed throughout the years, and it’s unclear if it was ever anything more than what it claims to be. Emma finds out by mistake that the entire meteor narrative is a fabrication, leading her to uncover a terrifying and unlikely truth about the quaint village that is far more unbelievable and frightening than she could have ever imagined.
