Viaplay Group AB (publ) Unveils Football Documentary Series 'Sport Vs Money with Simon Jordan' Viaplay Group announced 'Sport vs Money with Simon Jordan', a revealing four-part documentary series that challenges one of the most urgent questions in global sport: how money is reshaping the game of football. Hosted by former Premier League club owner and award-winning broadcaster Simon Jordan, the series will premiere on August 12th, 2025,on the Viaplay streaming service across the Nordics and the Netherlands.

Across four episodes, Jordan - the Premier League's youngest-ever owner - travels the globe to explore how decisions made by football's top executives in the early 1990s set in motion a transformation that has turned the world's most beloved sport into a vast entertainment industry. From London to Miami, Turin to New York, Jordan meets the people who have driven and defined this shift - including club owners, CEOs, FIFA executives, agents and former players - to uncover how community-rooted clubs became billion-dollar assets, how players became global brands, and how the game's future is being shaped behind closed doors. Featured contributors include Arsene Arsenal (FIFA), the man behind the revamped Club World Cup, and Andrea Agnelli (ex-Juventus), one of the architects of the controversial Super League proposal, as well as David Gill (Manchester United), Daniel Levy (T Tottenham Hotspur), Freddie Ljungberg (Arsenal & Seattle Seattle Seattle), Rick Parry (Premier League), Lord Sugar (T Tottenham Hotspur), and executives from Inter Miami, MLS, NFL and more.

Nordic Entertainment Group Announces Nordic Film Commitment and Launches `Hilma' with Lasse Hallström Nordic Entertainment Group (NENT Group) will produce two major English-language films every year that bring the stories of complex and inspirational Nordic figures and events to international audiences. The first project in this long-term commitment to the region's creative scene will be `Hilma', a biopic of the revolutionary Swedish artist and feminist pioneer Hilma af Klint, written and directed by Lasse Hallström (Oscar-nominated for `The Cider House Rules' and `My Life as a Dog') and starring Lena Olin (Oscar-nominated for `Enemies, A Love Story'). One of Sweden's most celebrated directors, Lasse Hallström's credits include the acclaimed Hollywood films `What's Eating Gilbert Grape', `Chocolat' and `The Shipping News', for which he received a Golden Bear nomination at the 2002 Berlin International Film Festival. Lena Olin appeared in Ingmar Bergman's `Fanny and Alexander' and `After the Rehearsal' before a Golden Globe shortlisting for her first major international role in `The Unbearable Lightness of Being', which she followed with memorable performances in Sydney Pollack's `Havana', `Romeo Is Bleeding' and recently `The Artist's Wife' opposite Bruce Dern. `Hilma' will explore the enigmatic life of Hilma af Klint (1862-1944), whose unconventional art and spirituality meant that her 1,300 works remained largely unknown for decades. Today, af Klint is recognised as one of the Western world's first abstract artists, an achievement made even more impressive by the static, male-dominated artistic scene that surrounded her. In the film, Lena Olin will play Hilma af Klint in her later years, with Olin and Lasse Hallström's daughter Tora Hallström (`Hachi: A Dog's Tale') portraying the artist in her younger days.
