Netflix has released a teaser for its upcoming Danish series The Nurse, based on the book of the same name written by Kristian Corfixen.
From the producers of “The Chestnut Man” and directed by Kasper Barfoed, the series is set at the hospital in Lolland Falster, in the outskirts of Denmark, and tells the true story of the Danish nurse convicted of four counts of attempted manslaughter.
According to the official synopsis, the show follows Pernille Kurzmann in her first days in her new job as a nurse. “She soon befriends the very charming and charismatic nurse Christina Aistrup Hansen who at first seems to be one of a kind, loved by everyone, incredible at her job and always first on the spot in an emergency. However, as the days go by and Pernille gets to know her way around she slowly starts seeing that there might be more to Christina than what first meets the eye. She decides that she cannot turn a blind eye to what is happening in front of her and she journeys out to uncover the truth.”
The cast includes Josephine Park, Fanny Bernth, Amalie Lindegård and Dick Kaysø.
In the teaser, Park’s character, Pernille, is shown dealing with an emergency – a cardiac arrest. The young nurse, who has done cardiac massage only on a dummy before, is encouraged by Christina to keep pressing on the patient’s chest, without stopping, to the rhythms of Gloria Gaynor’s 1978 song “I Will Survive”. The two are featured singing this song until the doctors arrive. A few minutes later, the two nurses are informed that the patient is stable.
The Nurse will launch globally on Netflix on April 27, 2023.
