Beck (Swedish TV series)


Beck is a Swedish television crime drama series, based on characters featured in the novels of Maj Sjöwall and Per Wahlöö, starring Peter Haber as the titular character. Thirty-eight episodes have been filmed to date, with all episodes from the fifth series onwards broadcast on C More. The first four series were released direct-to-video, with a small number of episodes also concurrently released theatrically.
The first series was written entirely by Rolf Börjlind, while seasons two through four saw Rolf and Cilla Börjlind co-write several episodes. Notably, the character of Kollberg is entirely omitted from the series. Mikael Persbrandt announced in 2015 that he would be leaving the series to focus on other projects, however he did return to film one final episode, Gunvald, the first episode of series six. In 2015, the series was acquired by the BBC as part of their international crime drama slate, with broadcast commencing on BBC Four with Buried Alive, the second episode of the fourth series.
