SBS continues its commitment to intelligent, quality programming with the acquisition of two non-English language comedies Hellfjord and Klown, as it moves to broaden its comedy offering on SBS ONE.

Norwegian series Hellfjord follows Salmander, a disgraced police officer banished to the mysterious island of Hellfjord in Norway’s far north after he accidentally kills his police horse in front of thousands of children.
