The comedy series Hæ Gosi!

María plays the Faroese Fríðborg in the brand-new comedy series Hæ Gosi!, premiering on SkjárEinn on 30 September.

The series is written and produced by young filmmakers from Zeta Film and directed by Arnór Pálmi Arnarson.

It was shot in and around Akureyri in July, with six episodes filmed in a single month. The story centres on the brothers Börkur and Víðir, played by Árni Pétur and Kjartan Guðjónsson; their wives, the Faroese hairdresser Fríðborg, played by María Ellingsen, and the ambitious Pálína, played by Helga Braga Jónsdóttir; the brothers’ father and his friend, played by Þórhallur Sigurðsson and Þráinn Karlsson; and last but not least the brothers’ friends, played by Hjálmar Hjálmarsson and Hannes Óli Ágústsson.
