About 'Splitting Up Together'

Doro and Philipp have everything: good jobs, great children, many friends and a beautiful home. But their love is in decline, with a midlife crisis knocking on the door and a sex life that is long gone. So Doro decides to file for divorce before things turn really sour. The problem is that their house proves impossible to sell, so they decide to stay together until the market turns…which is easier said than done! Doro, who feels like she has missed out on too much of her life, tries to relive her youth - with Tinder and hangover - whilst Philipp slips into a huge identity crisis. As a result, he not only finds himself, but also a new woman! Meanwhile, Doro realizes that maybe the grass is not always greener on the other side and that she's not quite over Philipp yet ...

The original Danish series was written by Mette Heeno and produced by Mie Andreasen and Happy Ending Film for TV2 Denmark.
