Icflix, the region’s first unlimited streaming platform for what it terms ‘Jazwood’ (Arabic content), Bollywood and Hollywood programming, will make the comedy drama available in 23 countries across The Middle East and North Africa.

The series tells the story of a New York mobster who moves to the Norwegian town of Lillehammer after going into a witness protection programme. The drama is produced by Norway’s Rubicon for NRK and Netflix and is now on its third season.

The news comes after Icflix released its first original TV movie, HIV, this month with English and French subtitles.

Carlos Tibi, CEO and founder of Icflix, previously told C21 his Dubai-based firm was expanding its North African operation by opening offices in Algeria and Tunisia, as it looks to bolster its original movie output.
