Johan Golden, Iben Akerlie, and Aslak Maurstad are among the five participants slated for complex and absurd challenges in the upcoming thirteenth season of the comedy program Kongen befaler, according to a press release issued Wednesday morning by Warner Bros. Discovery.
The show features participants competing under strict time pressure to solve impractical tasks set by Atle Antonsen. Program Director Magnus Vatn stated in the release that the network secured another strong cast for the upcoming run on TVNorge and HBO Max.
Cast Lineup and Production Details for Season Thirteen
Alongside Golden, Akerlie, and Maurstad, the five-person roster includes Robert Stoltenberg and Ulrikke Falck, according to Warner Bros. Discovery. The format relies on contestants completing separate, pre-recorded assignments without knowing how their rivals approached the same problem. Skitne triks (dirty tricks) and bestikkelser (bribery) form permitted tactics within the game rules, culminating in studio confrontations where Antonsen awards weekly points.
Format Mechanics and Scoring Systems
Every episode challenges contestants with physical and mental puzzles designed to induce missteps and clever shortcuts. Atle Antonsen retains absolute authority over the scoring, transforming subjective evaluations into the primary driver of competition.
