Friday is the premiere of the second season of the NRK success «First-time service». On that occasion, we met series creator and actor Herman Flesvig (29) on the red carpet.
He says that he feels a little nervous before the premiere.
– You feel the nerves yes, it’s quite clear. There are such nice people here, so I think it will go very well.
– Fight a little with Aksel
Actor Aksel Hennie, who is in the new season of the series, brags about the 29-year-old on the red carpet.
– This is such a love project from Herman. There is joy from A to Z, says Hennie about the upcoming episodes.
Flesvig replies that Hennie is «crazy».
– I have fought a bit with Aksel, and I should never have said that I should be part of it. Because I got a pig Christmas, he laughs.

– It will be fun
The celebrities met for a preview at the Colosseum cinema in Oslo on Thursday night. Flesvig reveals more details about the upcoming season.
– Everything we did not get last season, we have managed to get now. My surreal head was running wild. So I think it’s going to be fun.
– Is there anything you can reveal from the action in the new season?
– It’s a little longer this time, it’s a little more “story” than last time. But I absolutely believe that if you liked last season then you like this and, I think, says Flesvig.
He thinks it is difficult to compare the seasons against each other.
– It is always difficult to compare, because when you think of last season you only think of highlights. I think we are talking about much of the same thing, he says.
–Has new TV projects underway
This will be the last season of the popular series, but Flesvig has the plans ready for the time to come.
It is already known that Herman Flesvig and Mikkel Niva have announced transfer from NRK to Schibsted, which owns VG.
– Now it will be to start working in Schibsted then. New projects are also underway. I’m already starting a new recording this spring.
– TV? Can you say something about that?
– TV, yes. There are plays there and, so I think it will be good.
To NRK says Flesvig that his girlfriend has been important to him during this hectic period. He does not want to say anything more about that on the red carpet.
– I keep privacy private nicely outside.
Niva: Supplied as a support contact
Mikkel Niva has been involved in large parts of the production process, and says he himself is a little unsure why he is there.
– I have been involved in writing the script and the whole package there. And I’m not sure if I really have any skills. Or if I was just brought in to tell Herman that he is good, pretty and very handsome and stuff, says Niva and laughs.
– What Herman does not know is that I am half paid from NRK, and half from NAV, to hang out with him as a support contact.
He reveals that there are many intimate scenes, and that Flesvig’s character Tanja Laila and Mikkel exchange some romance.
– Are we really actors now, or are we just friends who are very fond of each other. It is very uncertain, he says.
– We have become good friends
Herman Flesvig started his career by parodying celebrities on social media, and Aksel Hennie seemed to be one of his favorites to emulate.
Hennie comments that they have become good friends in recent times.
– One of the first things I did after seeing the first parody of me was to send Herman a message where I wrote that “you can go as far as you want”. His potential is nowhere near being reached. He is a brilliantly talented artist, says Hennie.
He adds that it was difficult to keep the mask on at times.
– The people who film are a family. So I’ve just had a lot of fun. The most difficult thing has been to try to hold the mask, and get their job done. Because there’s so much fun going on. What Herman does, but also what all his insane characters come up with.
– Is this the start of a friendship?
– We have become good friends. And are very happy to work together. Understand each other both in front of and behind the camera. So then it is only natural that you think so, Hennie concludes.
– I am first and foremost very happy then. Grateful that I get to be a part of it. Herman is a beautiful guy, he says.
– He’s crazy
Kristoffer Hivju can also be seen in the new season. He appeared on the red carpet with his family. He thinks it’s great to be part of the new season.
– Very fun. He’s a wild animal, I’m a wild animal. Then there will be a zoo.
– He’s said you’re crazy about NRK?
– I can copy-paste it, and say he’s crazy. What’s fun about Flesvig is that when he makes a shot, something new always comes up. He improvises extremely much, and you get involved in that. So you never know what’s coming, and then it comes alive, he says.
