The series is produced by Trond Kvernstrøm, Christian Steen and Anders Tangen at The Oslo Company.

Tesha Crawford, Director International Originals Northern Europe at Netflix: "We are excited about this fun, female led story as we believe the universal themes of love, ambition and the struggle with expectations, especially around Christmas, will resonate with our audiences in the Nordic countries as well as the rest of the world.
