Netflix has lined up a new drama series about the Swedish criminal Clark Olofsson, who gave rise to the concept of Stockholm syndrome, managed to escape prisons and committed robberies all over Europe.
Olofsson, who has been referred to as a “celebrity gangster,” will be portrayed by Bill Skarsgård (It, Castle Rock). The Swedish-language drama, titled Clark, is based on the truth and lies of Olofsson’s autobiography. Across six episodes, the series will feature Olofsson’s early years until present day.
Jonas Åkerlund is directing. The production company is Scandinavian Content Group. Skarsgård is also among the executive producers.
