Starring Kerstin Linden, Christopher Wagelin, Sverrir Gudnason, Pernilla August and Johan Ulveson.
Netflix released the first look for Ronja the Robber’s Daughter, which is based on the world-famous story by Astrid Lindgren.
Lisa James Larsson, nominated for the European Film Award for Best Short Film, directs Ronja the Robber’s Daughter. The series creator is credited to Hans Rosenfeldt, the writer behind “The Bridge” and “Marcella”, and is now part of Netflix’s collection of classic tale adaptations. Produced by Filmlance, with Bonnie Skoog Feeney and Mattias Arehn serving as producers.
The story follows Ronja, a spirited and rebellious girl born into a gang of robbers in a medieval Scandinavian castle. As Ronja grows up, she discovers the magical yet dangerous forest with its strange and mysterious creatures. Rather than feeling scared, she feels more at home in the forest than behind the walls of the huge castle. Ronja’s encounter with a young boy named Birk from a rival gang marks the beginning of a dark family feud, and a forbidden friendship emerges between them. Meanwhile, a notorious bailiff arrives to get rid of the robbers from the forest once and for all.
The series will be released in two parts: Ronja the Robber’s Daughter Part 1 will have six episodes and will be launched on March 28th in the Nordics, CEE, UK, France, Spain, and the Netherlands, and Part 2 will be released later in 2024.
The cast members include Kerstin Linden (Ronja), Jack Bergenholtz-Henriksson (Birk), Christopher Wagelin (Mattis), Krista Kosonen (Lovis), Sverrir Gudnason (Borka), Maria Nohra (Undis), Pernilla August (Valdir), Vera Vitali (Cappa) and Johan Ulveson (Skully-Per).
