25 May 2026Netflix today debuts the official trailer for Norway: The Dark Horse, the upcoming two-part sports documentary series that takes viewers inside one of football’s most emotionally charged comebacks: Norway’s return to a major international tournament after 26 long, painful years.
The trailer teases exclusive behind-the-scenes access as Norway’s men’s national team - led by global stars Martin Ødegaard, Erling Haaland, Alexander Sørloth and Antonio Nusa under head coach Ståle Solbakken - fights to break a generational curse and reclaim its place on the world stage.
It’s been over a generation since Norway last reached the big stage, and belief had all but disappeared. Now, Norway has finally broken the curse. Having qualified in style, the team is emerging this summer’s tournament as a dark horse in a brutally tough group featuring former world champions France and African powerhouse Senegal.
Director Emil Trier: “This is the story of a team - and an entire country - that has waited far too long to return to a major tournament. The ambition was to show the details of this team’s journey through the qualifiers, and how the road suddenly changes when you have to prepare for a World Cup,” says director Emil Trier.
