Atlantic Crossing is a historical drama in the form of a television miniseries set in Norway and the United States during World War II. The series is wide-ranging but pays special attention to interactions between Crown Princess Martha of Norway and President Franklin Roosevelt during the period when Martha was a war refugee in the United States after fleeing the 1940 Nazi Invasion of Norway.[1]
Some portions with Norwegian, Danish or Swedish spoken dialogue are subtitled in English.[2] It premiered on 25 October 2020 on NRK in Norway.[3] The series premiered 4 April 2021 on Masterpiece Theatre on PBS.[4]
The eight part series was co-produced by the Norwegian independent production company Cinenord, Norway’s public broadcaster NRK and the US Public Broadcasting Service (PBS).[5] Most of the series was filmed in the Czech Republic and Norway.[6]
The series created controversy in Norway by repeatedly portraying the President and the Crown Princess as romantically involved, a claim that is not supported by historical evidence.
