Celebrity hosts Janne Formoe and Triana Iglesias are diving deep into the complexities of midlife intimacy in the new Norwegian series Bedre sex, which premiered on April 30, 2026.
The six-part entertainment program, directed by Line Fougner Christensen, launched simultaneously on Viaplay and TV 3, with the latter airing its premiere at 10:30 PM. Moving away from a general overview of sexuality, the series specifically targets the experiences of adults aged 40 and older—individuals navigating the challenges of parenthood, long-term partnerships, or the aftermath of divorce.
The show adopts a celebrity-led exploration format, where Formoe and Iglesias act as “guinea pigs,” traveling the world to investigate themes they personally relate to. This approach blends a sense of curiosity with the inherent awkwardness of the subject matter, resulting in a series that fluctuates between cringe-worthy moments and genuinely touching revelations.
By focusing on the “middle-aged” demographic, the program highlights a frequently overlooked aspect of pop-culture discourse: how intimacy evolves as people age and their life circumstances shift. The production features various experts and practitioners, including Marina Manuela de Paoli, as the hosts seek ways to improve sexual wellness and connection in later life.
The premiere of Bedre sex adds to a growing trend of entertainment programming that uses high-profile personalities to destigmatize taboo health and wellness topics through a personal, experiential lens.
