Nordisk Film TV Commissioned To Produce The Voice Of... In Norway

A Banijay Group company has secured a significant commission for the hit talent search show The Voice of... in Norway, which sees the company now in production on a total of four local versions spanning the Nordic region.
In Norway, The Voice of... has now been commissioned by leading national broadcaster TV2. Due to launch within the next six months, the Norwegian version will feature coaches including Magne 'Mags' Furuholmen from 80s pop sensation A-Ha.
The Norwegian edition is the latest Nordisk Film TV commission for the Talpa-distributed format in the Nordic territory, with local teams set to produce over the coming months in Denmark for TV2, Sweden for TV4 and Finland for TV4 Nelonen, where the show is produced by Solar Television, a Nordisk Film TV affiliate.
Nordisk’s co-producer is Talpa, the format developer and distributor.
Jacob Houlind, Nordic Chief Executive Officer at Nordisk Film TV said: “We are honoured to announce that we have again been entrusted to produce this huge stand out format, The Voice of...for Norway. Being awarded the complete set of Nordic commissions is a great example of how our group structure can be exploited to deliver extremely high quality productions across the region, as standard, working as an integrated team. We have put a great deal of hard work into building our competencies in the entertainment genre and now it seems we are really seeing return on that investment.”
The Danish version will be the first to launch, later this fall. The show is already generating enormous buzz following the unveiling of the Danish judging panel, which includes Sharin Foo, lead singer of the Ravonettes and Lene Nystron lead singer of the international pop act Aqua.
