AceShowbiz - Director Martin Zandvliet, known for Land of Mine, recently returned to Copenhagen after the premiere of his first television project, Harvest, at Canneseries. The Danish drama presented two episodes from its planned seven-part season in competition, offering an early glimpse before final edits are completed on the remaining episodes.

Harvest has been described by some as ‘Succession with tractors,’ a comparison that Zandvliet himself is not especially keen on. The series features actors such as Katrine Greis-Rosenthal, Elliott Crosset Hove, and Lars Brygmann in a story centered on conflict within a farming family.

The plot begins as the family gathers to celebrate the 65th birthday of the patriarch, Gorm. Tensions rise when he announces his decision to pass the family farm, Feldumgaard, to his youngest daughter Astrid, played by Greis-Rosenthal. This choice bypasses his eldest son Erik, portrayed by Crosset Hove, igniting deep familial strife and a battle over the farm’s future.

The series explores themes of inheritance, loyalty, and rivalry against the backdrop of rural life, marking Zandvliet’s first foray into television drama. With only two episodes screened so far, anticipation builds as audiences await the full story to unfold in the remaining installments.
