The Suspense-Filled Eight-Episode Limited Series from Nordic TV,
Set Against the Stunning Landscapes of Lofoten, Norway, Was Co-Created by Hivju and Lead Writer/Director Kristoffer Metcalfe


TWIN: Official U.S. Trailer
 
SYNOPSIS
 
What would you do for an identical twin you hadn't seen in 15 years? Would you assume his very different life following a tragic accident? That's but one of the pressing questions raised in TWIN, an eagerly-anticipated, suspense-filled limited series from Norway starring "Game of Thrones" Kristofer Hivju (Wildlings leader Tormund Giantsbane), and making its North American streaming premiere on MHZ Choice this February.
 
One part thriller, one part character driven drama, TWIN is the story of Erik and Adam (both played by Hivju), identical twin brothers, who live completely different lives. Erik is a broke surfer bum. Adam is a successful family and business man And when Erik seeks out his brother for the first time in 15 years, a quarrel ends with Adam's wife, Ingrid (Rebekka Nystabakk), accidentally killing her husband. To avoid getting arrested for murder, and save his brother's family, Erik takes over Adam's identity. However, it soon turns out that the biggest challenge is not avoiding getting caught - it's pretending to be someone you're not. 
 
Featuring high production values and set against the stunning backdrop of Norway's Lofoten Islands, TWIN was a passion project between Hivju and lead director/co-writer Kristoffer Metcalfe, which they developed over 15 years since starting out in Oslo together in their early 20's.

IDW’s “October Faction” is a Men In Black meets “Riverdale” series where dark family secrets and simmering high school angst all collide against the struggle between monsters and humans.
 
Building on the success of IDW Publishing’s comic book series written by Steve Niles, “October Faction” follows Fred (J.C. MacKenzie) and Deloris Allen (Tamara Taylor) who, after the death of Fred’s father, return to their hometown in New York with their 17-year-old twins Geoff (Gabriel Darku) and Viv (Aurora Burghart). Subsequently, Geoff and Viv’s lives are turned upside down when they discover their seemingly unremarkable insurance sales rep parents are, in fact, (spoiler alert!) trained assassins who hunt monsters. 
 
“October Faction’’ is produced by High Park Entertainment in association with IDW Entertainment.  IDW Entertainment is the worldwide distributor (excluding Canada) for the series.
 
The series was adapted and created by Damian Kindler (“American Gods”, “Sleepy Hollow”, “Krypton”) who serves as creator, showrunner and executive producer.  Kindler is currently executive producing the third season of “American Gods”.
