Forbidden love, rumors of adultery, surprise abdication… The Danish royal family has already experienced its share of scandals.
Enough to encourage the national channel TV2 to devote a series to it, like
The Crown
.
Producer Pernille Bech Christensen announced in a press release that the Danish channel was developing a program called
Af Guds nåde
(translate, “By the grace of God”).
“An important story that concerns us all as Danes, told from the point of view of the Danish royal family and centered on Margrethe,” she said.

Filming in 2025
The new Danish series is “the story of a family, an institution and an anachronism that struggles to maintain its relevance in modern times,” continued Pernille Bech Christensen in the document.
A show that the TV2 channel and the company Sam Productions, behind the series
Borgen
, have been developing for 18 months.
The program will begin in 1940, at the birth of the sovereign, and will follow all stages of her life.
Like
The Crown
for the English, the series will also address the evolution of the royal family, but also of Danish society.
Its filming should begin in 2025. The list of actors has not yet been revealed.
