“I want Gösta to be a mix of comedy and Fyodor Dostoyevsky: as funny as possible and as serious as possible,” said Moodysson, who will direct all eight episodes about the man, who wants to be the kindest person in the world and help everyone he meets. Sometimes it goes well, sometimes not. Production will start in Sweden next year, for a 2019 premiere.

“It’s a joy and an honour to produce HBO Nordic’s first Scandinavian original series – it is perfect for Gösta’s wilful mix of comedy and drama,” added Swedish producer Lars Jönsson, of Stockholm’s Memfis Film, who has staged all of Moodysson’s film productions and will now produce his first television series, with HBO Nordic’s Hanne PalmquistSteve Matthews and Antony Root on board as executive producers.

Gösta is an insightful, fun, multifaceted and bittersweet story that says a lot about the time we are living in – in a way that only Moodysson can say it. I am so very pleased to welcome him and Jönsson to HBO Nordic,” concluded Palmquist, the new commissioning editor and VP of Original Programming at the Nordic division of the US commercial broadcaster.
