Lilyhammer‘s second season is currently filming in Oslo and Lillehammer, with star and exec producer Steven van Zandt on hand after taking a break from his touring schedule with Bruce Springsteen. For its second outing, the fish-out-of-water dramedy has added Paul Kaye (Game Of Thrones), Erik Madsen (Da Vinci’s Demons), Amy Beth Hayes (Mr Selfridge) and Jakob Oftebro (from foreign-language film Oscar nominee Kon-Tiki). Lilyhammer was a hit when it premiered in Norway in January 2012, drawing record numbers for NRK1, and it was the first original series to launch on Netflix when it bowed via the streaming service in the U.S., Canada and Latin America in February. Season 2 sees van Zandt’s mob fixer Frank Tagliano still in witness protection and juggling fatherhood with running his criminal operation. Added to the mix this season are a group of English soccer hooligans, a bank robbery that threatens to reveal Frank’s identity, and a bloodthirsty new female sheriff. Lilyhammer was developed by Rubicon TV with Red Arrow on international sales. Showrunners are Eilif Skodvin and Anne Bjornstad; producer is Anders Tangen. Lasse Halberg exec produces with van Zandt. Shooting on Season 2 runs through April when van Zandt goes back on tour with Springsteen.

GOOD NEWS
I’m right there with you. I stumbled on it while looking around Netflix for something to watch….and then watched the whole first season in a couple of weeks. I’m real anxious for the 2nd season to start.
sham, you stubbled upon this, understandable you watched the full series with dedication, nice to meet you my friend
couple of weeks? That’s a Loooong time. I watched in ONE DAY!!!!
I got so hooked to this show. Holding my breath for season 2!!!!!!!!!!
Same here. One sitting.
Same here. Been hooked every since then. Cant wait for Season 2 to start showing.
When will season 2 be on the air? Going to norway this fall to visit lillehammer and oslo!
I love this show. I can’t wait for season 2.
I can’t wait. This show is so good.
Love this show and love the idea that good series’ don’t need a cable network to find success.
So the ‘family’ influence of Frankie aka Jonnie, extends to the author does it? added a ‘Tar’ for disguise? I think we should be told…
This is a great series which we found by accident when flicking through the channels, I hope the BBC let us know when series 2 goes on air well in advance. It was great comedy and also opened up the world of witness protection which the majority of us know nothing about! Based on Lilyhammer we tried to book a holiday in Norway, living in Scotland it is just across the water but for us involved a huge trek down south and even into mainland Europe. A disgrace that direct sailing links are not available!
Awesome show. I love the fact you can get an entire series at once.
Watch tv and seen it all. Good show good luck keeping it running
This is a thoroughly enjoyable show. I was really amused by the interaction of the two opposite cultures, this “Odd Couple” of nations, Norway and the US East Coast. It just works. I appreciated the lack of violence as well as the fact that this show was not dubbed (in Italy we are used to dubbed films, but there is little call for English dubbing, consequently movies dubbed in English sound awful). Lilyhammer is one of the reasons why I still watch Netflix while I don’t watch television. Keep up the good work
Yes!! Finally! I’m so hooked on Lilyhammer and now my mom is too. Cannot wait!
After accidentlly finding this series, I was hooked after the first episode. Watched the whole series in two days. And couldn’t wait for the second season to air. So happy it is in production now that Steven is finished touring!!! I have gotten many others hooked on this show, also. Thanks, Netflix!!!!
I can’t wait for the next season. I’m watching it for the second time around. Fresh, funny and not an overload of violence.
FREAKIN LOVE VAN ZANDT!!!!!!!!! Multi-talented, gifted. And I love Lillyhammer! Can’t wait for S2.
The Sopranos and Fargo had a love child and named it Lilyhammer. I cannot wait to see what Frankie does next. Way to go, Little Stevie! Mommy loves you!

Ditto on everything that was said. Also, funny how I enjoy this show much more than the heavily hyped, very expensive star-driven House of Cards.
Thank u Netflix 4 giving this show and House of cards.
Thank god I just stumbled on it last week and watched it straight through in one sitting a GREAT series!!!!!
I love this show! Can’t wait for Season 2. Looking forward to seeing Hemlock Grove also.
I so love this show, does anyone know when Season 2 will be released?
Only thing to watch since Soprano’s ended.
This is just one of those rare shows that hits on all cylinders. Caught it very early and have been dying for a new season for months now!
Brilliant.
LOVE this show……everything about it!!
I can’t wait for the next season! This show was like catnip for both my husband and I; it was just the right balance of crude mafia type not being what one would think, and naive country folks not being so naive. Loved the setting and cast.
I’m in Canada I love this show wen will they add season 2. ???
Best show with Steven van zandt. Finally season 2 coming. Yeah.
