DESCRIPTION:
(from Netflix's press release, February 2024) Today, Netflix announces that the world-famous story by Astrid Lindgren, Ronja the Robber's Daughter, is launching on March 28th. Ronja the Robber's Daughter follows the adventures of a spirited and rebellious girl born into a gang of robbers in a medieval Scandinavian castle. As Ronja grows up, she discovers the magical, but dangerous forest with its strange and mysterious creatures. Yet she feels more at home in the forest than behind the walls of the huge castle. When Ronja meets the young boy Birk from a rival gang, it marks the beginning of a dark family feud and a forbidden friendship emerges, all while a notorious bailiff arrives to rid the forest of robbers once and for all. In an expansive yet faithful reimaging of the classic tale, written by "The Bridge" and "Marcella" creator, Hans Rosenfeldt, and produced by Filmlance, members are re-introduced to one of the most beloved stories in Sweden. The series is being released in two parts, and stars Kerstin Linden, Christopher Wagelin, Sverrir Gudnason, Pernilla August and Johan Ulveson, among others. |
