Plot

The series depicts Ditte and Louise's time in the acting industry, where they fight against chauvinistic and sexist tendencies.

Cast

In addition, a series has a large number of guest appearances, including from Trine Dyrholm, Iben Hjejle, Lars Mikkelsen, Mia Lyhne, Joachim B. Olsen, and Keld and Hilda Heick.

Production

Ditte & Louise was the first comedy series to be launched on DR1 in fifteen years, as the genre has been a more important element on its sister channel DR2.[1] The production budget for one season amounted to 14 million kroner.[2] The series draws inspiration from works like Klovn, Ridley Scott's Thelma & Louise, as well as Christian Braad Thomsen's Koks i kulissen with Helle Ryslinge and Anne Marie Helger.[1]

Prior to the series, Hansen and Mieritz had collaborated as hosts of the Bodil Prize Party and as screenwriters for Cirkusrevyen.[1] They have also worked on the play Den Vægelsindede which premiered at Odense Teater the same year as their series was aired.[3]

Broadcast

The series was launched on DR's main channel DR1, where it was shown on Friday at 21:25 (9:25 pm),[4] seen in the industry as prime-time. The first season received a Robert Award for Best Short Television Series.[5] Ditte Hansen and Louise Mieritz were in the process of developing a third season when DR1's channel manager chose to withdraw support for the series, based on its viewership.[2] It was met with criticism from several media, including from Information who called the decision self-ironic.[6] Mieritz expressed her surprise at the decision, as the series had performed solidly on streaming services.[7]
