Is Netflix’s ‘Midsummer Night’ Based on a True Story?

“Midsummer Night” is not based on a true story. It’s a made-up family story about a couple named Carina and Johannes, as well as their friends and family, over one day. The show shows complicated relationships and hidden facts in a way that makes them seem real and easy to understand. The show is made up of Per-Olav Sørensen and Sofie Forsman, but it deals with real-life issues like disappointment and fear of change.

Along the same lines, the way their girls Hanne and Helena are portrayed shows how everyone deals with fears and insecurities. Hanne’s doubts and fears put her upcoming marriage to Darius at risk, which is a common experience for people who are about to make big changes in their lives.

Sørensen wanted to show viewers the complicated ties between family members and bring attention to the parts of people’s lives that are usually kept secret from even close family members.  ‘Midsummer Night’s’ diverse cast of people and how their stories intertwine’s to create a family that feels real and accessible to viewers. By setting these characters in a Midsummer celebration, the show creates a space for the kinds of emotional depth, revelations, and deep talks that happen when families get together.
