‘The School of Housewives’ Writer, Director Interview

The School of Housewives, a captivating Icelandic drama that premiered last year on RÚV, is currently a frontrunner for the prestigious Göteborg Nordic Series Script Award, the most coveted prize for TV screenwriting in Scandinavia.

The series follows Hekla, a woman who has struggled with addiction and has been in and out of rehab since her teenage years. In a desperate attempt to regain custody of her daughter from foster care, she enrolls in The School of Housewives, a real institution located in Reykjavik. However, as Hekla and other characters embark on a journey to learn traditional homemaking skills such as knitting, baking, and cleaning, they question whether these activities will truly make them better mothers.

Through their shared challenges, these women form a strong bond and create a supportive community that empowers each of them.

Directed by Arnór Pálmi Arnarson and co-written with Jóhanna Friðrika Sæmundsdóttir, The School of Housewives is produced by Arnbjörg Hafliðadóttir at Glassriver, the same production company behind the acclaimed Icelandic series “Black Sands.”

In a recent interview with Variety, Arnarson and Sæmundsdóttir discussed the inspiration behind the show and their collaborative process in bringing it to life. They revealed that they drew inspiration from a documentary about the real School of Housewives, which dates back to 1942 and continues to operate to this day. Visiting the school and immersing themselves in its environment helped them create an authentic narrative that resonated with viewers.

When developing the series, Arnarson and Sæmundsdóttir worked closely together to explore themes of feminism, gender roles, and societal relevance. They meticulously crafted a diverse cast of characters with intricate backstories, ensuring that each episode was impactful and engaging.

Despite being a locally focused series without a large budget, The School of Housewives has garnered immense praise in Iceland for its relatable storytelling and compelling characters. While international success is always a bonus, the creators are proud of the show’s strong connection to Icelandic culture and its ability to resonate with audiences both locally and abroad.

In conclusion, The School of Housewives is a testament to the evolving Icelandic TV scene and the power of authentic storytelling to captivate audiences around the world. Its nomination for the Göteborg Nordic Series Script Award is a testament to the show’s quality and impact, solidifying its place as a standout in the realm of Scandinavian television.
