This is a show about a woman that gets an opportunity to be coach in a small football team in the highest league for mens football in Norway. Season 2 is coming now, and they hinted about a gay storyline this season.

I'm Norwegian. Never heard of this show but will definitely look it up.
Heimebane though?! What's with the Nynorsk? 90 % of Norwegians use Bokmål. The show should be named Hjemmebane. I know it's on NRK so they have to use Nynorsk for a certain number of their shows. Still annoying though.

The show is supposed to take place in Ulsteinvik that is located on the north of the westcoast of Norway. Heimebane is dialect.

Just watched the trailer for season 2 and well... I'm not impressed. They couldn't have made one of the football players gay? Now THAT would have been groundbreaking! Instead they made one of the financial backers or whatever gay? Also, his boyfriend is a stereotypical gay man. Nah, I'm not gonna watch this. It's a cop out.
Trailer, includes gay characters:

Another wasted opportunity. Why not have a gay football player and tackle homophobia in sport?

Very easy, homosexuality in sports (specially on sports that move a lot of money) is controversial. You need really a good screen play to treat the subject right, it's something complex that you can solve with easy tricks.
Having a gay character in the background makes everything easier, you don't have to touch homosexuality on sports but you have a gay character.
God's own country author Ross Raisin wrote a novel about homosexuality in soccer, of course the novel is a lot more than that and talks about frustrations, expectations against reality, and a lot of other things that someone young who starts a career on sports has to face.
Ross Raisin is on the Granta list of best young writers, it was his third novel but he had a lot of trouble publishing it. Publishers thought that talking about homosexuality on soccer will make reader who like soccer not being interested, curiously it was soccer itself the biggest burden because they thought women won't be interested on a soccer novel.
In the end A natural was published and had very good reviews. Maybe it will end being a film like Raisin's first novel

Yes, we can't see any gay footballers in the trailer, but we don't know. And the one we see in the trailer is one of the main characters so its not like they will have a gay character in the background.

After watching the last episode, it looks like its more than one gaystoryline this season. Looks like the goal keeper is gay.

They introduced the gay character (the blond guy from the trailer) in the new episode. I'll probably watch since it's Norwegian, though I'm still kinda annoyed that they chose this as the main gay story (even if there will be a minor gay story with the goalkeeper) instead of focusing on one of the players' sexuality. Oh well...
