Drive Director Nicolas Winding Refn Directs Danish Netflix Series Copenhagen Cowboy

According to Netflix's announcement, "Copenhagen Cowboy" was filmed on location in Denmark and production wrapped earlier this year. Other actors include Andreas Lykke Jørgensen, Jason Hendil-Forssell and Li Ii Zhang, as well as Dragana Milutinovic, Mikael Bertelsen and Mads Brügger.

With shows like "Squid Game" and "Dark" to its name, it's no wonder Netflix is ​​branching out with even more international series like "Copenhagen Cowboy" in hopes of finding another hit worldwide to add to his collection. The company could also use one. Although it managed to beat forecasts when it came to its April-July 2022 performance, the service still lost around a million subscribers following its stock plunge earlier this year. Meanwhile, other streamers are rapidly gaining traction at a time when Netflix's growth potential is becoming increasingly limited (not to mention looming lawsuits and its various internal issues).

While 'Copenhagen Cowboy' will likely be as esoteric as anything Nicolas Winding Refn has done, the fact that it already has a fan base in the US should help the series find an audience beyond his home country. We'll see what he's up to soon enough when the show airs worldwide later in 2022.
