"A Sámi Wedding" is Coming! 🥂

Get ready for the series everyone will be talking about: "Heajastallan – A Sámi Wedding" premieres on NRK on January 1st, 2026!

This highly anticipated drama uses a wedding plot to explore the deep, complex themes often left unspoken in Sápmi: Family dysfunction and feuds, alcoholism and the essential struggle for openness and dialogue.

It's dark, it's funny, and it's brutally honest. Ultimately, it’s a story about family—and why sometimes, we can’t communicate with the people we love most.

Don't miss the premiere on New Year's Day on NRK TV!
