MUBI has released an extended trailer for the final instalment of Lars von Trier's The Kingdom – The Kingdom Exodus.
Following a successful showcase at the international film festivals including the World Premiere at the Venice International Film Festival earlier this year, the brand-new season of the ground-breaking series will launch exclusively on MUBI in UK on 27 November 2022, with episodes dropping on a weekly basis.
The Kingdom Exodus continues and finishes Lars von Trier's internationally acclaimed 1990s cult series classic - the ghost story about the hospital built on top of the old bleaching ponds in Copenhagen, where evil has taken roots and medical science faces a daily struggle with itself. In this final instalment, sleepwalker Karen will seek answers to the unresolved questions of the series in order to save the hospital from doom. Sound asleep one night, Karen wanders into the darkness and inexplicably ends up in front of the hospital. The gate to the Kingdom is opening once more…
The new series features an ensemble cast, including Lars Mikkelsen (The Killing), Mikael Persbrandt (Sex Education), Nikolaj Lie Kaas (Riders of Justice) and Tuva Novotny (Bonus Family), with Alexander Skarsgard (Big Little Lies) and David Dencik (Chernobyl) guest-starring.
In addition to the brand-new instalment, MUBI subscribers will also have access to the first two seasons of The Kingdom series, which have been acquired and newly restored in never-before-seen director's cuts from 1994 and 1997.
The Kingdom I and The Kingdom II will launch on 13 November and 20 November respectively, ahead of the launch of The Kingdom Exodus on 27 November.
Lars von Trier (The House That Jack Built, Nymphomaniac, Melancholia) wrote the script in collaboration with Niels Vorsel, with whom he also wrote the previous seasons.
