Who stars in the Danish rom-com?

Are you a fan of political scheming in royal families? Are you missing shows like Bridgerton and The Crown? If these answer to either of those questions was yes, then you’ll want to add Netflix’s Danish romantic comedy Ehrengard: The Art of Seduction to the top of your watchlist.

This intimate and romantic new movie centers on a complicated royal family in desperate need of an heir to retain their claim to the throne. The Grand Duchess is determined to marry off her son, the Crown Prince Lothar, and have him produce an heir to prevent their cousins from usurping their power. The only problem is that Prince Lothar is hopeless at romance.

Enter Cazotte, a self-professed romance master and royal painter. The Grand Duchess hires him to teach Prince Lothar how to woo a lady, but Cazotte soon finds himself in the midst of romantic turmoil and realizes he might not actually know a thing about the art of lovemaking.

Find out who stars in this exciting new Netflix movie below.

Acclaimed Danish actor Mikkel Boe Følsgaard stars as the royal painter Cazotte, a self-professed expert on love hired by the Grand Duchess to help secure an heir. Netflix subscribers might recognize Følsgaard from other Netflix projects like The Chestnut Man, The Rain, and Borgen: Power & Glory.

The Grand Duchess herself is played by Borgen and Westworld actress Sidse Babett Knudsen. The Grand Duchess is intent on getting an heir, so she hires Cazotte in the hopes he can teach the Crown Prince everything there is to know about seduction.

Alice Bier Zanden plays the film’s romantic leading lady Ehrengard, who draws the eye of Cazotte despite his job of helping the prince to find a wife. This movie marks one of Zanden’s most significant roles to date, though you might have also seen her in the HBO series The Night Manager.

Of course, the story wouldn’t be complete without the Crown Prince! Emil Aron Dorph is the handsome, up-and-coming Danish star playing Prince Lothar (son of the Grand Duchess) in Ehrengard: The Art of Seduction. Like Alice Bier Zanden, this movie is one of his biggest roles thus far, but you might have seen him in films like Erna at War or A Matter of Trust.
