"Snabba Cash" Sequel Series Coming to Netflix

Snabba Cash (Easy Money) was released in 2010, and depicted the rise of J.W. Westlund (Joel Kinnaman) through the organized crime scene of Stockholm, Sweden. Overall, there were three Snabba Cash movies released, with a planned American remake rumored to star Zac Efron.

Right now, it's looking like those remake plans might be on the back-burner. Netflix just announced that they are releasing a six-part series from the creators of Snabba Cash, which picks up the story of the original movies and sets the timeline forward 10 years.

The new Snabba Cash series will be produced by SF Studios, which is a good fit- they produced the original films, too. Oskar Söderlund will be writing the screenplay, and adapted the series with the help of Jens Lapidus, who wrote the books the original movies were based off of.

"I have been waiting for an opportunity to continue with Snabba Cash. The stories are still epic but also depict our time in an unfiltered light. It will be amazing,"

-Snabba Cash author Jens Lapidus

Netflix is pretty happy about the deal, too:

 "We are happy to announce this new Swedish series and to bring the world from these much loved movies back to life in a fresh and exciting way. To do this, we are fortunate to work with some amazing Swedish creatives. We are excited about working with Oskar and Jens and their vision for this new chapter of Snabba Cash. With SF Studios onboard we also have an incredibly strong local partner."

-Netflix's Director International Originals Northern Europe Tesha Crawford

The biggest unanswered question for me right now is whether Joel Kinnaman will be returning to play Westlund. Kinnaman has been getting some pretty good projects lately, having played the lead in the first season of Altered Carbon on Netflix, and putting in some incredible work as Erik Heller on Amazon Prime Video's Hanna remake.

We'll have more on the new Snabba Cash series as the series develops!
