Need You Alive

When Henry Johnsen (Mads Ousdal) is diagnosed with an incurable brain tumour and given just one more year to live, he starts a secret battle to find a cure. But as he struggles to maintain his usual air of superiority over his patients and colleagues, is it finally time to be open about his feelings?

An arrogant small-town surgeon forced to confront life’s deepest questions is the unlikely anti-hero of ‘R.I.P. Henry’, Viaplay’s latest Original from Norway. Mads Ousdal (‘Wisting’; ‘Witch Hunt’) plays the title role in the eight-part drama, which is directed by the award-winning Arild Fröhlich (‘Fatso’; ‘Helt Perfekt’).
