The Unlikely Murderer is a six-part Swedish series on Stig Engstrom, the man who was believed to be the probable assassin of Swedish Prime Minister, Olof Palme in 1986. The series, which is based on a 2018 book by Thomas Pettersson, is made by Swedish producer FLX, the same as other series like Quicksand and Love and Anarchy.
It stars Robert Gustafsson as Engstrom. Eva Melander, Mikael Persbrandt, Peter Anderson, Joel Spira, Emil Almen, Shanti Roney, Torkel Petterson, Hemrik Nirlen, Lia Boysen, Magnus Krepper, Bjorn Bengtsson, Peter Vittanen, and Cilla Thorell also feature in the film.
A fun fact about the cast is that Gustafsson was in the same cinema theater as Olof Palme on the night of the murder. So, playing this role almost seems like therapy for the actor since the case has always felt like an abscess that never disappears.
The theory about Engstrom seems to be the most logical one, and even the most recent Palme investigation committee has concluded that it is the right one. Besides, that’s what most people, including Gustafsson himself, believe in. Engstrom was able to elude justice till his death through a combination of audacity, luck, and a perplexed police force.
