Truls Svendsen
Svendsen grew up in Tromsø, but moved to Oslo in 1993. While attending the BI Norwegian Business School he met Harald Rønneberg. The two started the event firm Plan B, and Svendsen eventually made his television debut as sidekick in Rønneberg and Thomas Numme's Senkveld.
Svendsen soon presented shows for the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation, including Kroppen and E6 - en reise i nordmenns hverdag. He returned to TV 2 for Svendsen om Hansen og Jensen, Kvelden er din, Truls - oppdrag Hurtigruten and Tjukken og Lillemor. For the latter show, an arctic exploration with Cecilie Skog, he won Se og Hør's TV Personality of the Year award. He earlier won a Gullruten award for TV moment of the year in 2009. He also featured in two seasons of the drama Meglerne (2014 and 2016).
Like the programme with explorer Cecilie Skog, Svendsen followed up with another show where he followed an expert, this time chef Eyvind Hellstrøm in Truls à la Hellstrøm. In 2019 he toured with the stage show Fra Æ til Å, a combined standup, musical and slapstick show.
In 2021, Svendsen appeared on the first season of the singing competition series Norges nye megahit and sang the song "Når julefreden senker seg" with his girlfriend Charlotte Smith, which won and subsequently reached number one on the Norwegian singles chart.

Cops
COPS follows police officers, constables, and sheriff's deputies during patrols and various police activities by embedding camera crews with their units. The show's formula adheres to a classic cinéma vérité ethos. With no narration or scripted dialog, it depends entirely on the commentary of the officers and on the actions of the people with whom they come into contact.
90 Day Fiancé
90 Day Fiancé offers a unique look into the world of international dating and matrimony. Using a unique 90-day fiance visa, the K-1 visa, four women and two men will travel to the U.S. to live with their overseas partners for the first time. The couples must marry before their visas expire in 90 days, or the visiting partner will have to return home. They'll have to overcome language barriers, culture shock and skeptical friends and family -- all with a clock that starts ticking the moment they step foot on U.S. soil. The stakes are incredibly high as these couples are forced to make a life-altering decision: get married or send their international mate home.

But Duane isn't concerned with the lore. After discovering a system of seven underground caves that run through his property, he is singularly focused on finding what's hidden in them - no matter what the cost.
