• Today, Netflix announced the renewal of the Danish crime series The Asset following the work of a young agent who goes undercover to befriend a drug smuggler's wife. 

• The first season premiered on October 27, 2025  and quickly became popular worldwide. In its first week, it reached No. 1 in 52 countries and top 10 in 90 countries, with 11.3 million views.

• The second season brings back returning cast members Clara Dessau, Maria Cordsen, Afshin Firouzi, and Nicolas Bro, among others, who will encounter their greatest challenges yet in the fight for survival and justice.

• Conceptual Director, Samanou Acheche Sahlstrøm, says: It’s truly heartwarming to see how well The Asset has been received. We’re thrilled for the opportunity to dive deeper into each character and unfold their stories for our viewers.
