Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon are off on another trip. 

It’s been over five years since their last adventure, but Rob Brydon and Steve Coogan are to film another series of The Trip. This time, the pair are bound for the Northern Lights – taking in the “rugged beauty of Northern Europe”.

The series, again directed by Michael Winterbottom (This England), sees the pair journey through Scandinavia in search of fine food, wry conversation and a glimpse of the elusive Northern Lights.

Here’s how Sky describe The Trip to the Northern Lights…

Rob, 60, and Steve — still very much 59 — set off to explore northern Europe’s wildest reaches — from sculptural Swedish hotels to remote Norwegian fishing huts — delivering their trademark blend of wit, rivalry and playful introspection. Along the way, they reflect on ageing, ambition, family and fame — mostly through the lens they know best: themselves — from podcasting spats and BAFTA one-upmanship to debates on Bond, Bergman and whether they’ll ever retire. Equal parts sitcom, travelogue and midlife reckoning, The Trip to the Northern Lights is Coogan and Brydon at their bickering, brilliant best.

Steve Coogan said:

“I’m delighted that Michael Winterbottom has managed to persuade me at the age of 59 to join Rob, aged 60, to squeeze the last few drops of comedy from a bottle that we both thought was pretty much empty.”

Rob Brydon said:

“I’m so pleased to be heading out on a Trip once again, this time to beautiful Scandinavia and how lovely to do it while Steve Coogan, Michael Winterbottom and I still have most of our faculties.”

The Trip to the Northern Lights shoots later this year on location in Scandinavia. The six-part series comes from Revolution Films, Baby Cow Productions and Small Man in association with Sky Studios.

You can catch up with the first two seasons of The Trip on BBC iPlayer. Later seasons are on Sky.
