It's been ten years since Netflix went 'Lilyhammer' mode
commemorating the anniversary and reflecting on the company’s roots in content for international audiences.
Although Netflix’s premiere Hollywood shake-up came with “House of Cards,” which the streamer ordered as a series before picking up “Lilyhammer,” the announcement of the political thriller series spurned a meeting between “Lilyhammer” star and executive producer Stevie Van Zandt and Sarandos. The Norwegian crime series had already finished filming an entire season at the time and was set for a premiere in its home country.
In his new book “Unrequited Infatuations,” Stevie said that the call led to the best business meeting of his life – which was when we got together in person. I remember that Stevie was a much better actor and musician than he was a salesman; he would humbly describe the show as “different, odd, quirky, sometimes it’s in English and sometimes it has subtitles…” almost like he was trying to talk me out of it.
After first airing on Norwegian broadcast TV NRK on Jan. 25, 2012, we debuted “Lilyhammer” on Netflix Feb. 6, 2012, offering all eight episodes to our members in the US, Canada and Latin America . This was the first time we streamed a show across multiple countries and languages… and it worked.
