A FIRST LOOK OF BILL SKARSGÅRD AS CLARK OLOFSSON - DIRECTED BY JONAS ÅKERLUND

FEB 4, 2022 - Today, Netflix released the first teaser for Clark, a Swedish series directed by Jonas Åkerlund and starring Bill Skarsgård as Clark Olofsson - the notorious Swedish bank robber, and the man who gave rise to the expression "The Stockholm syndrome".

Jonas Åkerlund, director and writer: "Swedish rockstar criminal Clark Olofsson is famous all over the world for a reason. He is a master manipulator, a black belt seducer, a media blitz with a psychotic mind and everything in between. With wit to match his skills with manipulation, this series will take the viewer on a journey back to the swinging 60s and 70s and onward into the darkness of the late 70s and 80s. It's the Clark Olofsson story we have not seen before. All told by the Stockholm syndrome man himself - the puzzling man behind all the crimes."
