Love Forever, written and directed by Staffan Lindberg, will launch globally on Netflix on Friday February 14. This heartwarming romantic comedy feature is set on the gorgeous island of Gotland, Sweden and tells the story of a Stockholm couple that plans to get married, but family-imposed traditions turn their most important day into a disaster.

The star-studded cast is led by Charlie Gustafsson, Kjell Bergqvist, Barbro “Babben Larsson”, Philip Oros, Claes Malmberg, Matilda Källström and Anja Lundqvist.

In UR’s new drama series Alla andra kan dra åt helvete, past and present meet in a story about friendship, loyalty and dark secrets in a student dormitory. Starring Mustapha Aarab, Shayan Fagern and Simon Lööf, the series depicts the mental state of young men during a vulnerable time, and is created by Andreas Öhman and Daniel Sawka.

Alla andra kan dra åt helvete is available for streaming on UR Play and SVT Play, and airs on SVT1 on Sundays.

Aaron Paul (Breaking Bad, Westworld) and Jacob Tremblay (Room, Good Boys) are set to star in the upcoming elevated horror The Night House, adapted from Jo Nesbø’s bestselling novel with the same name. The feature is directed by Jesper Ganslandt (Snabba Cash, Falkenberg Farewell), and produced by Steven Schneider (Split, Insidious, Paranormal Activity) and Hope Studios’ Fredrik Wikström Nicastro (A Man Called Otto, Borg vs. McEnroe). The screenplay is written by Ganslandt and Nesbø.

Tremblay and triple Emmy winner Paul play younger and older versions of the protagonist, Richard, with the official plot synopsis reading as follows:

In the wake of his parents’ recent death, highschooler Richard (Tremblay) has been sent to live with relatives in the remote town of Ballantyne. One day, during an innocent prank call in a phone booth, Richard shockingly witnesses his classmate violently get sucked into the phone receiver and disappear without a trace. Police suspect Richard to be responsible, and no one believes his story except Karen – a fellow teenage outsider. As Richard and Karen try to understand their friend’s unspeakable death, they soon realise they have unleashed terrifying evil forces. In this twisted spin on a classic horror story, and as reality starts to blur, we must ask ourselves – can we truly trust Richard, and can he even trust himself?

“Jo Nesbø’s The Night House is a haunting, fresh, and utterly gripping horror — I can’t wait to see it take shape in collaboration with the super talented Jesper Ganslandt, Hope Studios and the incredible talents of Aaron Paul and Jacob Tremblay,” Schneider said in Variety’s exclusive coverage of the announcement. “Together, we’re set to deliver something truly unforgettable!”.

“I couldn’t have wished for better actors than Jacob and Aaron to headline this film. We also happen to share the same goal which is turning this into a seriously disturbing psychological horror movie, unlike anything you’ve ever seen before!” added Ganslandt.

Nicastro of Hope Studios said: “It’s a gift to be adapting work from one of the best storytellers in the world, and it’s testament to the gripping plot and Jesper’s brilliantly creepy take that we’ve landed the fantastic Jacob and Aaron to anchor the piece.”

The film is currently in pre-production, set to shoot this summer mainly in Álava, Spain. Executive producers are Nesbø, Jonas Fors, Niclas Salomonsson and Juan Solá of Federation Spain and Dave Bishop, George Hamilton and James Pugh of Protagonist Pictures.
