Following his testimony, Tagliano enters the Witness Protection Program to ensure his safety. Rather than accepting a standard relocation, he makes an unusual demand to the authorities. He requests to be set up with a new life in the small Norwegian town of Lillehammer, which he refers to as Lilyhammer. The series, created by Anne Bjørnstad and Eilif Skodvin, is a crime comedy-drama starring Steven Van Zandt.
