Maniac (miniseries) |
Maniac was developed as an experiment by TV 2 Zebra in the spring of 2013, where viewers helped select the best concepts for new television series.[2] The entire series was released on streaming service TV 2 Sumo on December 1, 2015. This was the first time TV 2 released its own production for streaming before it was broadcast.[2] It was broadcast on TV 2 in 2016.
Espen is a man in his thirties who is beloved by all. He experiences each day as a party with limitless opportunities. All this, however, happens only in his imagination. In reality, Espen is a patient in a psychiatric hospital where he has not yet expressed a single word.
In 2018, Netflix released a miniseries of the same name starring Jonah Hill and Emma Stone that is loosely based on the Norwegian production.[3]
