For as long as the Viking sagas have been passed down through the ages, Viking Skool has trained the best of the best to be future Viking leaders.
Teens Ylva, Erik and Arni are three friends brought together at Viking Skool. They each share a common element: they’re long shots at becoming Vikings. Bound together by their outlier status, over the course of the series, their friendship will only grow as they meet the challenges that await them.
Together our three heroes will make it through their first year and come out stronger than ever - even if they haven’t gotten their axe throwing scream down!

After the death of his father, Robert the Magnificent, William, the contested heir to the throne of Normandy, manages to find refuge in the village of Baligan. In order to escape from the lords that seek to eliminate him and replace him on the throne, William assumes a new identity, that of a simple peasant boy named Hugo.

ARGENTINA
This is the story of Eva Perón after her death.
Evita's embalmed body had an eventful journey that lasted 22 years and it was as eventful as her 33 years of life. Evita died in 1952 but her corpse remained waiting three years to be buried in a monument that was never erected. In 1955 a military coup overthrew Perón and hid the body for 19 years to prevent it from becoming a weapon against the regime. A political figure for six years as General Peron's wife, yet her corpse influenced Argentine politics for more than two decades, fabricating a strange story, becoming part of the Argentine mythology. To the military officers that took over, dead Evita was even more dangerous than the alive one. Everyone feared that errant corpse without a burial site.
This is the story of that corpse without a grave and its legend.

UNITED KINGDOM
The series is based on Adam Kay’s award-winning international multi-million selling memoir of the same name. Blisteringly funny and frequently heartbreaking, This Is Going To Hurt is a stark reminder of the vital role played by the NHS.
At times hilarious, at times devastating, it follows Adam, a doctor working in obstetrics and gynaecology who we find wending his way through the ranks of hospital hierarchy, junior enough to suffer the crippling hours, but senior enough to face a constant barrage of terrifying responsibilities: the 97-hour weeks, the life-and-death decisions, and all the while knowing the hospital parking meter is earning more than him.

As Zoé has regained her position of Étoile and Flora has passed the entrance exam of the company, a new season begins at the Opera. Since Sébastien left, the company no longer has a Dance Director. It is in this chaotic atmosphere that a new Maîtresse de Ballet arrives: Diane Taillandier. This former Étoile, a true ballet legend, enforces drastic methods. Between emotional blackmail and psychological manipulation, Diane does not back down from anything in order to establish her authority. And Zoé, just like Flora, will have to pay the price.
This new season tells the story of two mutations: a dancer’s, Zoé, and an institution’s. In both cases, it will be a matter of moving on from the past, of accepting one's flaws and faults, in order to better reinvent oneself.
