Netflix is set to expand its international catalog by adding one more series to its platform. Titled ‘Post Mortem: No One Dies in Skarnes’, the Norwegian series revolves around a woman named Live Hallangen (Kathrine Thorborg Johansen) who suddenly wakes up after being declared dead.

“Live Hallangen is declared dead. Hours later she suddenly wakes up on the forensic table. A dark, insatiable hunger has awoken in her. Meanwhile, her brother Odd tries to keep the family-driven funeral home afloat, but the stagnant death rate in the small Norwegian town of Skarnes makes it impossible. Live has to learn to control her new dangerous nature and decide if she is willing to sacrifice people’s lives for her own survival, which ironically goes hand in hand with the survival of the family business.”
