The Trip with Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon is returning to Sky.
More than five years after their Grecian adventure, Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon return in The Trip to the Northern Lights for Sky TV.
More than five years after their Grecian adventure, Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon return in The Trip to the Northern Lights — the highly anticipated fifth chapter of the award-winning, critically lauded Sky Original comedy series. Once again helmed by acclaimed British director Michael Winterbottom (This England, 24 Hour Party People), this new six-part installment swaps sun-soaked coastlines for the stark, breathtaking landscapes of Northern Europe. What unfolds is a hilariously indulgent odyssey through Scandinavia, filled with fine dining, sharp banter, and the pursuit of the mysterious Aurora Borealis.
Rob, now 60, and Steve — still clinging to 59 — embark on a journey through the remote reaches of northern Europe, from architecturally striking Swedish lodgings to isolated Norwegian fishing cabins. Along the way, they dish out their signature mix of clever quips, comic rivalry, and self-aware musings. Their reflections — on aging, ambition, family, and fame — are filtered, of course, through their favorite subject: themselves. Expect debates on everything from podcast feuds and BAFTA bragging rights to Bond versus Bergman and the prospect of retirement.
Part comedy, part travel diary, part existential road trip, The Trip to the Northern Lights captures Coogan and Brydon at their delightfully combative, irresistibly entertaining peak.
Steve Coogan said: “I'm delighted that Michael Winterbottom has managed to persuade me at the age of 59 to join Rob, aged 60, to squeeze the last few drops of comedy from a bottle that we both thought was pretty much empty.”
Rob Brydon said: “I'm so pleased to be heading out on a Trip once again, this time to beautiful Scandinavia and how lovely to do it while Steve Coogan, Michael Winterbottom and I still have most of our faculties.”
Meghan Lyvers, Executive Director of Original Scripted, Sky UK and Ireland, said: “We’re excited to continue this iconic series with Steve, Rob and Michael. Their singular blend of comedy, character and cultural commentary feels as fresh as ever. The Trip to the Northern Lights promises to be a smart, surprising and brilliantly funny new chapter.”
The Trip to the Northern Lights will be available on Sky and NOW in the UK and Ireland.
