Plot Synopsis

Birgitte Nyborg is the newly appointed minister for foreign affairs when a drilling company suddenly discovers oil in Greenland. An event that marks the beginning of an international struggle for power in the Arctic, and one in which the otherwise so experienced politician, Nyborg must repeatedly accept that despite Denmark's "big brother" relationship with Greenland, when it comes to the international superpowers, it is Denmark that is the minor player -- and a somewhat unruly one at that. The season also follows Katrine Fonsmark's journey. After being Birgitte's head of press for a while, in the new season she is back in journalism where she has landed a job as head of the news department for a large, nationwide television station. All eight episodes of BORGEN: POWER & GLORY made their U.S. debut on Thursday, June 2, 2022 on Netflix.
