Borgen netflix cast

Now Birgitte is shaking off nearly a decade of her post-PM life, booking corporate speaking gigs to assume leadership of her center-left political party, the New Democrats. In Power & Glory, Sørensen says, “Katrine really encounters this massive force that is social media.

Described by passionate fans (OK, this author) as a Danish West Wing or House of Cards, Borgen debuted in 2010 and offered viewers a look inside the titular Danish capitol by following Birgitte Nyborg (Sidse Babett Knudsen) as she’s elected the first woman prime minister of Denmark, along with political strategist Kasper Juul (Pilou Asbæk) and journalist Katrine Fønsmark (Birgitte Hjort Sørensen), who plot — and analyze — the prime minister’s every move.

In Borgen’s first three seasons, Birgitte realizes that accomplishing her political goals requires major sacrifices in her personal life.

But she isn’t the only one who compromises: Katrine also pushes her family aside to become a superstar political anchor. It’s a story that she can’t control. So for now, let’s continue waiting for more updates. So, we will leave that part for later or fans’ speculations.

Borgen Season five’s casting details

Borgen’s lead cast, Sidse Babett Knudsen returned to the series for a fourth season.

It was always a part of her mission to ensure a better future for Denmark. The show focuses on the journey of Birgitte Nyborg’s rise to power as Danish’s first female Prime Minister.

What do you think of when you think of Denmark? Priorities might change, but Birgitte’s moral compass remains intact.

Birgitte is questioned by reporters, something she has always prioritized.

For Sørensen, Borgen wasn’t just another job; she tells Tudum she became “an adult” on the show, just as Katrine did.

Fourth, the show has a varied cast, reflecting diversity, along with exploring the struggles and accomplishments of people from different backgrounds.


Borgen is welcoming and concludes with an emotional journey as the characters overcome new hurdles and evolve. So, we have no trailer for Borgen season five as of now.

As of April 2023, there has been no news concerning a fifth season of Borgen.

Here are a few recommendations: 

  • Euphoria (2019-present): Los Angeles high school students’ lives are depicted in Euphoria. Since Adam waited nine years to tell the right story following the events of season three, it may not be a surprise if he returns with another impactable story.
