Nearly 45 years after the first film, the fourth version of The Jönsson Gang is coming – now with Robert Gustafsson as the criminal genius Charles Ingvar "Sickan" Jönsson. The plan: to steal a valuable dinosaur skeleton from the Natural History Museum. Vanheden (Jonas Karlsson), Dynamit-Harry (Anders Jansson), and Doris (Jennie Silfverhjelm) help with the heist. Don't miss artists Benjamin Ingrosso and David Ritschard in supporting roles.

Oligarch son Vanja (Mark Eidelstein) becomes so crazy in love with stripper Ani (Mikey Madison) that he pays her to marry him in Las Vegas. When his rich Russian parents find out, they send some thugs to physically stop the relationship. Sean Baker's acclaimed film won the Palme d'Or in Cannes and combines sex, action, and slapstick comedy all at once.

Valter Skarsgård takes more and more space in the eternal series, in the role of Martin Beck's grandson Vilhelm, who is also a police officer. A brutal murder in a luxury apartment in Stockholm awakens unpleasant memories for Vilhelm.

Miniseries with Keira Knightley as Helen, married to the British Defense Minister, but also secretly a mole for a mysterious spy organization. When Helen's lover is shot, her former partner Sam (Ben Whishaw) is called in as a bodyguard.

Frederick Forsyth's thriller about a mysterious assassin who is to kill Charles de Gaulle was made into a film in the 1970s. Now, Eddie Redmayne plays the assassin in a new TV series. The intended murder victim this time is an eccentric tech entrepreneur whose invention can turn the world's financial markets upside down. Another big difference compared to the film is that the assassin leads a family life in Spain when he's not on a mission.

Gabriel Garcia Marquez's sweeping epic from 1967 has become a lavish Spanish-language miniseries. The series is filmed in the author's home country of Colombia and depicts the life of Aureliano Buendia and the others in the village of Macondo over 100 years.
