"Lilyhammer is a funny and fantastic example of programming for a global audience - a comedic culture clash that's drawn in viewers from around the world," said Ted Sarandos,chief content officer at Netflix. "We're especially proud of the many international awards the show has earned, cementing its cross-cultural appeal."
In season three of Lilyhammer, Roar (Steinar Sagen) travels to Brazil, to meet his Internet bride from a Rio favela. Blinded by love, he finds himself tangled up with the law, and it's up to Frank and Torgeir (Trond Fausa) to make things right. Assisted by the Norwegian Foreign Ministry, the collaboration between Frank and the foreign minister is anything but smooth. And as if Frank doesn't have enough challenges with his unruly bunch, a ghost resurfaces from the past - an American "family friend" who sees vast opportunities in Lillehammer for a man of his talents.
Van Zandt, who already wears multiple hats as an executive producer, writer, actor and composer on the series, will make his directorial debut with the season three finale. Angelina Jordan, the 8-year-old singing sensation who won Norway's Got Talent makes her acting debut.
