Created by Kyrre Holm Johannessen and Ronit Weiss-Berkowitz, The Girl From Oslo is a Norwegian political thriller series. The show’s unbiased depiction of The Israel-Palestine conflict has been praised by critics and audiences alike. The first season made its way on Netflix in December 2021. And since the first season ended with the indication that Bombing in Gaza has resumed, fans are eager to learn what happens next in The Girl From Oslo Season 2.
Will There Be The Girl Oslo Season 2?
After its April 2021 release in countries like Norway and Israel, the entire first season of The Girl From Oslo was made available to stream on Netflix on December 19, 2021. And, the geopolitical thriller has received widely positive reviews from both critics and fans. However, as far as the renewal is concerned, neither Netflix nor HOT has made any confirmation about the show coming back for The Girl From Oslo Season 2.
Storywise the first season ended with Bashir’s phone call to Arik. The open ending indicates that the showrunner has left the possibility for the story to continue in the second season. But as of now, nothing can be said about The Girl From Oslo Season 2 until there is some sort of confirmation from showrunners.
Does The Bombing Stop In Season one?
In the first season, we saw that even though his ties with the militant organization, Bashir is a compassionate leader. And all he wants is to stop the persecution of his people at the hands of Israeli forces. Bashir insisted on a cease-fire in the Gaza strip when Arik did not comply to send 12 ISIS prisoners to the Hamas facility. Arik raises the issue in the ministry, but most of the government legislative do not agree with him. However, Arik was able to convince army chief Mosh to stop the bombings for 24 hours.
Twenty-four hours of no bombing was time enough to rescue hostages. As the bombing stopped, Bashir thought Arik held up his end of the bargain. However, in the final moments of the series, Arik receives a phone call from Bashir, implying that the Israeli forces have resumed bombing in Gaza. Layla captured a video of Arik proposing a cease-fire, which Bashir sends to Arik. The plot grinds to a halt with the dramatic change of events. We can only hope that Arik will go to whatever length to save his family.
Is It Based On A Real Story?
While The Girl From Oslo is based on a factual story, it is primarily made up of fictitious dramatizations that combine to create a more realistic shell. The series contains some realistic elements, such as Bill Clinton’s narration at the beginning regarding the 1993 Oslo Accord. On the other hand, the characters aren’t based on real persons. Despite this, the show makes references to real-world events, such as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s judgments.
Even though the characters aren’t real people, the bigger tale seems to match events from 2013. ISIS was suspected of kidnapping Israeli and Norwegian tourists in Egypt over a decade ago. The storyline of The Girl From Oslo is based on this news story. However, the series is not officially based on it.
Much of the political machinations depicted in the series appear to be realistic. While there is no evidence to back up this claim, Benjamin Netanyahu did free a total of 104 Palestinian detainees as part of a peace deal, which sparked a widespread outcry. Despite its alluring fictitious attire, the series remains tied to the tumultuous realities of the Jordan River Basin when all factors are considered.
