Burbank, Calif. - September 18, 2013 - In preparation for the highly anticipated U.S. premiere of Season 3 of Borgen on Oct. 4, KCETLink will stream the complete second season of the internationally acclaimed Danish political drama beginning Sunday, Sept. 29 on kcet.org and linktv.org.

Borgen Season Two also will be presented on KCETLink 28.2, KCETs digital channel, nightly at 10 p.m. from Sept. 29 through Oct. 4. Each of the ten, one-hour episodes will stream online for two weeks following its airdate on 28.2.

In this season, fans watch Birgitte Nyborg (Sidse Babett Knudsen) in her second term as Denmarks first female prime minister. Politically, she has succeeded in earning the respect of her allies as well as her enemies, but tensions between parties are mounting, and Birgitte is forced to make more and more shaky compromises. The growing pressure causes her to doubt whether she can maintain both her position and her integrity. The ambitious and idealistic television journalist Katrine F nsmark is now working as a star journalist at the Ekspres, where editor-in-chief, Michael Laugesen, challenges her journalistic morals. Kasper Juul continues his professional role as the cynical spin doctor for Birgitte Nyborg. Privately he is trying to make peace with his inner demons and keep them from sabotaging his relationship with a new girlfriend.

The highly anticipated third season of Borgen will premiere for the first time in the U.S. and exclusively on KCET Friday, Oct. 4 at 10 p.m. PDT and on Link TV at 7 p.m. EST. For more information on the series, including character maps and series assets, please visit kcet.org/borgen.
