Born in Denmark, 1978, Torpe won critical acclaim and the Danish Oscar for writing the Bille August comeback and San Sebastian winner "Stille hjerte". He got his breakthrough with the hit TV series Rita (2012), for which he was nominated for "International Producer of the year" and "European producer of the year" at the Monte Carlo Television Festival, a show that was remade in The Netherlands as Tessa (2015) and in France as Sam (2016), where it became the highest rated premiere in 6 years. Following the success of Rita, he went on to create and run the TV show based on Stephen King's The Mist (2017) for Netflix/Spike. He lives in Los Angeles and Copenhagen.
