Scandinavian streaming service Viaplay has announced Limbo, a new six-part drama about motherhood and relationships tested by adversity starring Rakel Wärmländer (Alex), Louise Peterhoff (Blue Eyes) and Sofia Helin (The Bridge).
In Limbo, a late-night phone call changes everything for Ebba (Rakel Wärmländer), My (Sofia Helin) and Gloria (Louise Peterhoff). The news that their respective sons have been involved in a serious car crash puts their friendship and priorities to the ultimate test, and with Ebba’s son Jakob hovering between life and death, the three women find themselves in a devastatingly uncertain situation – in limbo.
