Stayer

Even Elstad has his life turned upside down after a tragic accident. Even, who left his home village of Eidsvoll many years ago to pursue himself and life as a rock star, is forced back to take care of his 16-year-old daughter, Annie. A daughter he hasn't had contact with in years. The old rock star is forced back to a place he fled from and that he never thought he would return to. His daughter Annie must thus involuntarily deal with a father who once abandoned her. Will Even be able to juggle his music career with his role as a dad to a teenager? And will Annie be able to trust him not to leave her again?

Directed by Pia Lykke, Stayer leans on a strong ensemble — Aksel Hennie, Hannah Elise Adolfsen Fjeldbraaten, Jeppe Beck Laursen — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The series landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2024.
