The series follows the staff and patients of a neurosurgery ward at a Copenhagen hospital. In The Kingdom Exodus, sleepwalker Karen will seek answers to the series’ unresolved questions to save the hospital from doom. One night, Karen goes into the darkness and inexplicably ends up in front of the hospital. The cast of the new season includes Lars Mikkelsen (The Killing), Mikael Persbrandt (Sex Education), Nikolaj Lie Kaas (Riders of Justice) and Tuva Novotny (Bonus Family), with Alexander Skarsgard (Big Little Lies) and David Dencik (Chernobyl) as guests. In turn, Von Trier (The House That Jack Built, Nymphomaniac, Melancholia) wrote the screenplay in collaboration with Niels Vorsel, with whom he also wrote the previous seasons.
