Princess Märtha Louise of Norway and her husband, the American self-proclaimed shaman Durek Verrett, are returning to television this fall with a new reality show titled "Alternative Norway." The series, set to air on the Viaplay platform, is described as a "warm, fun, and intimate" look into "Norway's esoteric scene."

The princess and her shaman husband will be among the personalities featured in the show, which aims to highlight alternative forms of spirituality and ways of life. "I am very happy to be involved in creating a bridge and normalizing this issue, so that more people dare to come forward and say who they are. The most important thing in life is to dare to be ourselves," Princess Märtha Louise told Norwegian channel TV 2.

Verrett commented on "Alternative Norway," stating, "I am connected to God, and if that makes people feel uncomfortable, then you will feel very uncomfortable." According to The Times, the show's cast includes fortune tellers, animal communicators, and Magnus Store, a "breathwork coach" and the son of Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre.

The new reality show follows the couple's previous docuseries, "Rebel Royals," which premiered on Netflix last year. This continued interest in the couple's lives and their unconventional choices underscores their public profile.

I am connected to God, and if that makes people feel uncomfortable, then you will feel very uncomfortable.
