Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

The JerryMaya books are Swedish institution-level beloved; this film adapts the 27th book while the TV series has run since 2013. Think Nancy Drew but with more cinnamon buns.

Trivia

Director Tina Mackic is also an acclaimed editor who cut the original Millennium trilogy—she knows her Swedish crime rhythms, just dialed way down for kids.
