Eccho Rights recently introduced the new Norwegian comedy-drama "Krypto Kings" to the global market. The title is set to premiere on Norway’s TV2Play on 10th February. “This is a hilarious but also touching story of a friendship that is dealt a lucky hand but then subject to the pressures and stresses that come with unexpected riches. The boom in volatile cryptocurrencies and its effects is a phenomenon that has been seen worldwide. We’re sure that this story will hit home with international audiences,” says Fredrik af Malmborg, CEO of Eccho Rights.

"Krypto Kings" is created by Vegard Thomassen, and executive produced by Thomas Giertsen and Lasse Hallberg for Monday Production/Feelgood in Oslo. Two seasons of the eight-part series have been commissioned.  The comedy series explores what happens if young adults get filthy rich overnight. 

The title tells the story of two ordinary young men whose lives are turned upside down when a speculative investment in cryptocurrency turns them into multi-millionaires. Lars and Asim are two nerdy, shy, small-town boys who put some of their savings into crypto as 16-year-olds. When they check in on their investment six years down the line, they discover that they are millionaires. 

This is a hilarious but also touching story, of a friendship that is dealt a lucky hand, but then subject to the pressures and stresses that come with unexpected riches. The boom in volatile crypto currencies and its effects is a phenomenon that has been seen around the world, and we’re sure that this story will hit home with international audiences.” Fredrik af Malmborg CEO, Eccho RIghts
