About the show

The Girl from Oslo (Hebrew: אזהרת מסע; Norwegian: Bortført, from Norwegian: "Kidnapped") is a 2021 Israeli-Norwegian thriller drama television series starring Anneke von der Lippe, Amos Tamam, and Raida Adon, written by Ronit Weiss Berkowitz together with Norwegian screenwriter Kyrre Holm Johannessen, produced by Netflix, and aired on April 11, 2021, on HOT and Norwegian TV 2. It is co-directed by Uri Barbash and Stian Kristiansen It was filmed mostly in Israel and partly in Norway, and is spoken in four languages (Hebrew, English, Norwegian and Arabic).

Production of the series began in 2019, and in May 2020, pre-production began for filming, but when the coronavirus pandemic broke out in Israel, it was put on hold. Alon Abutbul was initially cast as Arik, but he was replaced by Amos Tamam.

Upon its premiere on HOT in April 2021, the series received lukewarm reviews in Israel, with critics claiming that the plot was predictable and clichéd. However, when it aired on Netflix, it ranked fourth as the most-watched series in the world in the last week of 2021.

In 2024, it was announced that Lior Ashkenazi and Aviv Pinkas had been cast in the second season of the series. Filming for the second season is taking place in Athens.
