What happens

Stayer is a Norwegian musical, drama television series, which was streamed from 17 July 2024 on Viaplay. It was created by Pia Lykke who also co-wrote the script with others. Aksel Hennie directed the first season of six episodes and Stian Kristiansen took over for the second season. Filming began in April 2023 in the regional municipality of Eidsvoll with additional scenes shot in Oslo. The first season introduces Hennie as the fading rock singer, Even, who returns to his hometown, Eidsvoll in early 2023. Besides reviving his career by touring, Even reconnects with his long-estranged teenage daughter, Annie (Hannah Elise Adolfsen Fjeldbraaten). Evan's brother, Petter (Jeppe Beck Laursen) is the local principal, and is married to café manager, Monica (Marian Saastad Ottesen).

Annie joins the music class alongside Hermine and Patrick; they undertake a songwriting assignment. Even's tour is cancelled due to his misbehaviours. He also has writer's block and appropriates Annie's song for his comeback single. Monica moves in with her new partner, while Petter alternates living at Annie's and at his family home.
