Björnstad

Based On the book by Fredrik Backman

Beartown (Swedish: Björnstad) is a five-episode 2020 drama series directed by Peter Grönlund. Based on Fredrik Backman's 2016 novel of the same name, the series centres on the fallout of a violent incident between two teenagers in a rural, declining town in Northern Sweden, where hockey is not just a sport but a way of life. The series features an ensemble cast led by Ulf Stenberg, Miriam Ingrid, and Oliver Dufåker. Filmlance International, best known for co-producing The Bridge (2011–2018), announced they had secured the rights to Backman's novel in 2017.
