Filming of the 39th Beck film began in February and when shooting wraps in mid-summer, a total of 42 Beck films starring Peter Haber will have been produced.

“Congratulations all you Beck fans out there - and I know there are a lot of you! This is such a kick. Year after year, the Beck films top the list of what our users at C More watch the most, so I am thrilled that we will be able to offer new films by the end of 2020,” says Niva Westlin Dahl, executive producer of Beck at C More and TV4.

The new films, 39-42 in the series, pick up right where the Beck team left off last time. Martin Beck (Peter Haber) is now top brass and Alexandra Beijer (Jennie Silfverhjelm) heads up the team, side-by-side with her colleagues Steinar Hovland (Kristofer Hivju), Oskar Bergman (Måns Nathanaelson), Ayda Cetin (Elmira Arikan) and Jenny Bodén (Anna Asp). Martin’s daughter (Rebecka Hemse) and The Neighbour (Ingvar Hirdwall) are also returning by popular demand.

Film 39 is expected to premiere on C More this autumn. As yet, there is no information about the premiere on TV4.

The Beck films are based on characters created by husband-and-wife writing team Maj Sjöwall and Per Wahlöö and their detective series about Martin Beck. The films are produced by Tomas Michaelsson at Filmlance, which is part of the Endemol Shine Group. In the director’s chair are Pontus Klänge (Spring Tide, Arne Dahl) and Lisa Ohlin (Wallander, Simon and the Oaks). The scripts have been written by Johan Bogaeus, Veronica Zacco, Fredrik Agetoft and Stefan Thunberg. Beck is a co-production by C More, TV4, Nordisk Film and German TV channel ZDF and is distributed internationally by Endemol Shine.
