Written by Rikard Ulvshammar in collaboration with Alfredson and Henrik Dorsin, the film is part of a successful Swedish crime-comedy franchise that originally ran from 1981 to 2000 and was rebooted in 2015.

Upon his release, he’s informed that his former gang members have decided to pack in their life of crime, and so he decides to follow his own path. Starring Anders “Ankan” Johansson, Hedda Stiernstedt and David Sundin, this is the first comedy for Alfredson since Four Shades of Brown. Supported with NOK 1,800,000 (€188,000), the movie is currently shooting and is being produced by Pontus EdgrenFatima Varhos and Anna Carlsen for FLX.
