Sound asleep one night, Karen wanders into the darkness and inexplicably ends up in front of the hospital. The gate to the Kingdom is opening once more… “The Kingdom” premiered in 1994, followed by Season 2 in 1997. Since the series first came out, von Trier has helmed hit films “Dogville,” “Melancholia,” and “Nymphomaniac.” Von Trier penned the “Kingdom Exodus” script in collaboration with Niels Vørsel, with whom he also wrote the previous seasons.
