DESCRIPTION:
(from Disney+'s press release, November 2024) Whiskey on the Rocks, a political satire inspired by real events, is the first Nordic Original series to premiere on Disney+ in select countries and Hulu in the U.S. on January 22, 2025. All six episodes will be released at once. The series is the latest project from the team behind Academy Award-nominated Swedish film The 100- Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared and is a coproduction between Swedish national broadcaster SVT and The Walt Disney Company Nordic & Baltic. In the early hours of October 28, 1981, a Soviet nuclear Whiskey class submarine was spotted aground inside a restricted Swedish military area. The world teetered on the brink of disaster. With global superpowers on edge, the eyes of the world turned to Sweden's calm and collected prime minister, Thorbjörn Fälldin, a former sheep farmer, who faced the immense challenge of keeping peace between Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev and U.S. President Ronald Reagan. |
