In the Name of Love premieres September 8 on Viaplay. Based on director Bård Breien’s unconventional childhood, this eight-part series follows the Bang family who built their fortune through underground porn in conservative 1970s Norway. Two new episodes will premiere weekly every Monday through September 29. As the series opens in present day 1990s, one of their sons, Balder, hopes for a peaceful family gathering at his daughter’s baptism – until his estranged father, Lars, arrives uninvited, dragging decades of buried secrets back into the open. What follows is a provocative, heartfelt journey through the past of two brothers – Balder and Bjørnar (their grownup roles played by real-life brothers Jakob and Jonas Oftebro) raised by two very different parents: Lars, a wealthy porn businessman who viewed eroticism as a political and social protest, and their mother, Anne-Lise, a discreet feminist and primary school teacher determined to keep the business a secret. Blending coming-of-age drama, dark comedy, and emotional family reckoning, In the Name of Love charts the rise and fall of a family empire built on adult entertainment from the 1970s into the 1990s in conservative Norway – through the VHS boom, censorship crackdowns, and shifting social norms. As past and present collide, Balder is forced to confront the legacy he tried to leave behind – and ask whether love can survive the truth.
