Ella and Felix have to journey to Water Land, which is under threat from a sudden flood – much to the despair of its aquaphobic penguin population. The water already reaches all the way up to the tallest diving board. Meanwhile the piranha pirates’ dog has gone missing, and their General is not happy about it. Can the two mysteries have something to do with one another?

In the fifth installment of the Explorer’s Club series, The Explorers’ Club and the Noodle Poodle, we once again accompany Ella and Felix to the whimsical universe where the children’s imagination saves them from menacing pirates.

Netflix has announced a second season of the hugely successful and critically acclaimed Swedish original series Snabba Cash, inspired by Jens Lapidus’ novel of the same title. Season 2 will be written by Oskar Söderlund and directed by Jesper Ganslandt, who are also the creators and show runners behind the series. Aron Levander and Mona Masri will join as episode writers. The series is produced by Nicklas Wikström Nicastro for SF Studios in collaboration with Strive Stories.

Evin Ahmad (Dröm Vidare, Quicksand), will once again play the leading role of Leya. Season 2 will continue the thrilling story of Leya’s life as she navigates the contrasting worlds of ruthless start-up environments and Stockholm’s underworld.

“With Snabba Cash Season 1, we wanted to tell a modern story through characters that, though they commit morally ambiguous acts, share the same feelings and dreams as many of us. We are overwhelmed that so many people have taken our series to their hearts. But the coolest thing of all is that a lot of people have felt they finally have been represented in a big drama series. That is truly the finest reward of all,” says Jesper Ganslandt, director, and Oskar Söderlund, head writer.

Greed, betrayal and murder among the orchards, castles and blooming fields of Österlen.

Assisting him is local officer Tove Esping, inexperienced but ambitious and alert. The newly formed duo clash but eventually form a reluctant friendship as they search for the truth. Somewhere in the carefully tended idyllic gardens of southern Sweden’s Österlen, a killer is waiting for them.

A House to Die For is the No. 1 bestselling first installment in Anders de la Motte & Måns Nilsson’s new whodunnit series, The Österlen Murders, in which beautiful milieus and eccentric characters meet the cold specter of death.

Sara Osman (b. 1992) lives and works in Stockholm as a lawyer. Everything We Didn’t Say is her literary debut, a work teeming with razor-sharp observations on society and people. Recognizability and suspense combine to make it an unforgettable read and a modern classic.
