Swedish thriller series “Hostage,” which is being distributed by Global Screen, centers on the hijacking of a passenger aircraft, and the arrest of a Syrian academic by Swedish intelligence agency Sapo. Variety spoke to the show’s director Karen Fahlén, and Jonas Karlsson, who stars alongside Liv Mjönes and Adam Lundgren.
The six-part series is a sequel to 10-part crime drama “Stockholm Requiem,” which was based on Kristina Ohlsson’s novels based around the detective Fredrika Bergman. Fahlén directed “Stockholm Requiem,” which also starred Karlsson and Mjönes. Karlsson reprises the character he played in “Stockholm Requiem,” police chief Alex Recht, and Mjönes (“Midsommar”) reprises her character from the earlier show, Fredrika Bergman.
