Comedian and actor Kevin Vågenes has to be part of NRK’s new commissioner, “Familie Lykke.” The news comes just two weeks after Vågenes revealed that his popular series “Party Therapy” will not be returning after this season.
“Familien Lykke” premieres on Saturday, October 31 on NRK. Vågenes plays the role of August.
– It was an incredibly nice cast to work with. I remember sitting with my family when I was little and watching “Fredriksson’s Factory”, and now British Elisabeth Haagensli was suddenly going to play my mother. It would have been fun to tell 8-year-old Kevin, Vågenes says in an NRK message.
Kampanje was the first to mention the case.
“Party therapy” for laughter
A couple of weeks ago, Vågenes came in with the news that there would be no more Party Therapy seasons. The characters, on the other hand, will live.
Vågenes tells Dagbladet that he wants to take the characters from the popular series to a solo show.
– It has been incredibly fun doing something that so many have had a relationship with. It feels good to end the season that is already available. Now they expect new projects, and I hope to be on stage like these characters in “Laughter” in October, Vågenes told Dagbladet.
NRK Editor-in-Chief Christina Rezk Resar says this won’t be the last thing Vågenes does for the channel.
– It was okay to end “Party Therapy” now. We feel a bit empty on topic. Now we are going to accelerate further, so it has by no means ended in NRK, Resar told Dagbladet.
The hook on the door for “party therapy”
Randi’s brother
Vågen’s role in “Familie Lykke” August is the brother of Randi, the center of the series. Randi is played by Kristine Riis, known from the series “The Vikings.”
– There are many Randiers out there, and I admire them. We have all been more at home because of the crown, many have lived closer to their own family. And although families may seem different, we are probably more alike than we think. I hope that people who watch can feel that community, says Kristine Riis to Kampanje.
