Anxious People (Folk med ångest), based on the best-selling novel of the same name by Fredrik Backman is a Swedish comedy hostage drama about a bank robber who fails miserably by robbing a cashless bank and ends up taking eight persons hostage during an open house. A failed bank robber locks himself in with an over-enthusiastic real estate agent, two bitter IKEA-addicts, a pregnant woman, a suicidal multi-millionaire and a damn rabbit.
In a series of contradictory testimonies afterwards, upon their release the perpetrator vanishes without a trace and the hostages tell their versions of what really happened, whereupon a classic but hilarious mystery develops — all while the hostages share a common secret that creates a unique and almost unbreakable bond between them.
In the end the robber gives up and lets everyone go, but when the apartment is stormed by the two dysfunctional police officers Jack and Jim, who also happen to be father and son. There is just one problem: The apartment is… empty.
The six-episode series features the star-studded Swedish cast of Alfred Svensson as Jack, Dan Ekborg as Jim, Leif Andrée as Roger, Marika Lagercrantz as Anna-Lena, Carla Sehn as Julia, Petrina Solange as Ro, Anna Granath as Zarah, Per Andersson as Lennart, Lottie Ejebrant as Estelle, Sofia Ledarp as Maria, Shima Niavarani as Milou.
Produced by FLX (Love & Anarchy, Quicksand), the series is directed by Felix Herngren (The Restaurant), scripted by head writer Camilla Ahlgren (The Bridge/Bron/Broen) and Alex Haridi (Blue Eyes), and produced by Anna Carlsten (The Lawyer). The Executive Producers are Pontus Edgren for FLX, Fredrik Backman, Neda Backman, and Tor Jonasson for literary agency Salomonsson Agency.
