The youth series on NRK, "Rykter" is out with a new season.

This is the third season in a row and those from Bømlo are back in their given roles from the previous seasons, where the series’ first season first premiered in fall 2022, followed by the second season early the following year.

One of the young people in the series is played by the young actor Mathea Onarheim Grønnevik, who is back in the role of Synnøve.

- Now you have finished the third season of Rykter. How does it feel?

- It feels very strange and sad. It has been a fantastic experience that has given me so many wonderful people and memories to last a lifetime. There will never be a guarantee that I will get additional seasons, so it feels sad that this might be the end, but you can still hope for more then, says Grønnevik.

Grønnevik is one of two actors from Bømlo who play in the series. Heine Totland also plays the role of Olav. He is a salmon farmer and the father of Mathias, one of the main characters in the series.

Can expect the unexpected

"Rykter" continues to be seen on the fictional island of Vesterøy, where the series has initially taken on themes of what it’s like to be young in a place where everyone knows everyone in western surroundings and everyone speaks the authentic western dialect.

Now the action takes place at an upper secondary school, where the young people in the series have become more mature since last time.

Grønnevik says that the recording process has been a great joy for both her and the gang.

- It has been absolutely fantastic. This time we’ve all been more confident in each other, in front of the camera and in ourselves. This is also something you can see on the screen. The chemistry between the gang has been absolutely fantastic, she says.

- What can the audience expect in this season?

- The audience can expect the unexpected. There will be new characters, friendships and "plot twists, which you hadn’t imagined." At the same time, a lot of love and heartache, says the 19-year-old.

She adds that the role of Synnøve has been a demanding role for her.

- Synnøve has been a somewhat difficult role to play. She often has moments when you get the feeling of "Why didn't you do this?" or "Why didn't you say this?", but at the same time this is a character who takes on important and serious topics. So it's nice to be able to represent it, says Grønnevik.

Addresses sexuality and identity

In the new season, Synnøve will change as a person from the previous seasons.

- Synnøve is a new person at VGS (upper secondary school). She sees graduation as a new start. She has new habits and a small fling, but she continues to work at the cafe.

- As a young girl from Bømlo, in what way do you relate to the many issues this series addresses? That is, being young in a village in today's world?

- In season 3, you can see the effect of going outside the norms in a small rural community, where everyone knows everyone. Feeling that everyone thinks they know everything about you is something I think most people can relate to, regardless of gender and age, she says.

Grønnevik further explains that this season addresses sexuality and identity, together with friendship and love. It also addresses topics such as ostracism, bullying, and drug problems.

Enjoying study life

Grønnevik herself has just finished upper secondary school and has become a student in Bergen, where she studies "comparative politics".

- Right now I'm studying at the University of Bergen and enjoying myself there very much. I have spent some time in Bergen in recent years because of Rykter and I have really fallen for the city, she says.

The 19-year-old has spent much of her life in the theater scene.

- Theater is something I have been doing since I was six to seven years old. For me, it has been a safe arena to be myself. My former theater group, and especially my former theater teacher Marco Thomas, created an enormously social and open environment within our theater group with a safe framework. Marco has really been fantastic and cheered on every single one of us, says Grønnevik.

She has kept the recording of the series "Rykter” on the side since she was 16 years old.

- A lot of upper secondary school has thus gone by during it. I have experienced enormous support from my former contact teacher (primary teacher, contact between the school and a student’s parents) and other teachers and staff at Stord VGS to get this going. It has been difficult at times, but all in all it has definitely been worth it.

- It was a dream come true

- Is being an actor and playing in series something you want to pursue in the future? Or do you have other goals in mind?

- It is really something I wish to continue with in life, but I do understand that it is a difficult industry that many people wish to enter. That is why I want to have an education on the side, both to experience student life, but also to have something to lean on if I were to change my mind about acting, Grønnevik underlines.

Grønnevik is also privileged to have had the opportunity to play in the series.

- It has been a dream come true. It has been something I have wanted since I was little. It has given me an incredible number of good friendships and relationships. I will forever be grateful to have experienced something like this. Now "Rykter" is also going viral in several countries around the world. Something that is completely surreal, but so much fun! It's nice to see the enthusiasm for Rykter growing!

Here she had to go through several rounds of auditions to join the cast.

- There were an incredible number of applicants to Rykter, so the fact that I was able to take part in it is one of the things I am most proud of, she adds.

Now the young girl from Bømlo plans to focus on her studies, but is open to several new possibilities. She also hopes for several seasons of the youth series.

- Right now the plans are to focus on my studies, but I always like to think outside the box and look at other possibilities. One can hope that we will get several seasons, but it is something that needs to be looked at in the future. In any case, I am open to participating if there were to be more, concludes Grønnevik.
