International Max Original Drama Series Kamikaze Debuts this November

First up, yes we know HBO Max is not available directly in the UK (at the moment) but as much of its programming comes via Sky, this should still be of interest. The same is also true (currently) for Germany and Italy.

Kamikaze will debut with two episodes Sunday, November 14 in 46 countries and territories where HBO Max is available across the US, Europe and Latin America, marking the first Max Original commissioned and produced in Europe (Denmark) to will stream on HBO Max. Two episodes will subsequently debut each week until December 5 in the US. We assume other territories will follow closely.

Here’s the logline:

…fierce and charming 18-year-old Julie (Marie Reuther) on a journey of rediscovery, after losing her parents and brother in a plane crash. Suddenly, she finds herself alone in a large mansion with expensive cars in the garage, and, in theory, everything that most people only dream of: youth, beauty and money – lots of money — but material possessions hold no value to Julie anymore and she is forced to search for a reason to go on. She embarks on a wild and turbulent trip that takes her from her native Denmark to the far corners of the world.

The series is based on the novel Muleum by Erlend Loe and the eight-episode drama series stars Marie Reuther (Julie), Charlotte Munck (Astrid, Julie’s mother), Johan Rheborg (Thomas, Julie’s Father), Mads Reuther (Tom, Julie’s brother), Aleksandr Kuznetsov (Krysztof), Carla Philip Røder  (Constance), Vidhi Kastebo (Sofia), Casper Kjær Jensen (Micke) and Anders Matthesen (Psyko-Bo).

You can watch the trailer to see if this appeals, which we think it just might. There are also some interview comments in the press release.
