Baby Fever - A New Danish Netflix Series About Fertility Treatment, Choices, Parenthood And Love

- STARRING JOSEPHINE PARK, OLIVIA JOOF LEWERISSA, THOMAS LEVIN, SIMON SEARS AND CHARLOTTE MUNCH

Today Netflix announces Baby Fever, a new Danish Netflix series starring Josephine Park in the leading role. The six part romantic comedy-drama centers around the life of fertility doctor Nana (Josephine Park) and the clients she meets and treats.

When Nana, in a drunken state, inseminates herself with a really special portion of sperm - namely her ex-boyfriend's - she starts a chain reaction of catastrophes, both big and small. This rash move leads to a pregnancy and Nana now has to figure out how to explain her condition - which one can't hide forever - and win back her ex-boyfriend and long-lost love. The problem is just that he doesn't seem particularly interested in getting back with Nana.

The secret pregnancy allows Nana to see her clients in a different light, but as her lies grow bigger, it gets harder and harder for her to navigate in them and for the first time in her life, Nana has to tell the truth - and maybe reveal a secret that could ultimately cost her everything.

Jenny Stjernstromer Bjork, Director Nordic Original Series: "We instantly fell in love with this project. It touches on important universal themes about making difficult choices, parenthood and love. We are also happy to team up with the talented Amalie Næsby Fick and Nikolaj Feifer and continue the great collaboration with Apple Tree Productions. We are looking forward to bringing this show to Netflix with this amazing team."

Amalie Næsby Fick and Nikolaj Feifer, creators: "Baby Fever is the personal, comic, hard, surprising story about fertility treatment that we ourselves have lacked. Being in fertility treatment is insanely tough. We know that because we've been through it ourselves. But it can also be an experience of hope and joy and laughter, it can throw one around in so many different emotions in such a short time. That's why we want to make a series where the drama and the comedy always exist together, because that's our experience of a fertility process. "
