Yet the violence at Stjernsberg proves worse than the violence at home. <em>Evil<\/em> is slated to premiere on C More in 2023.<\/p>\n<p><em>Evil<\/em>, which commences shooting this week in Vilnius, Lithuania, is directed by Erik Leijonborg and Daniel Di Grado from a screenplay penned by Fredrik T Olsson. Isac Calmroth (<em>H\u00e5ll andan!<\/em>) plays Erik. Thea Sofie Loch Naess (<em>Hjerteslag<\/em>,<em> The Last Kingdom<\/em>) plays Marja, a member of the kitchen staff at Stjernsberg with whom Erik begins an illicit relationship; and Gustaf Skarsg\u00e5rd (<em>The Emigrants<\/em>, <em>438 days<\/em>, <em>Vikings<\/em>) plays his father.<\/p>\n<p>Tobias \u00c5str\u00f6m, producer at SF Studios, said: \u201cWe aim to create a series that brings out the close and strong emotions, and at the same time, is a great and rich story. We are convinced that this description of violence and oppression is relevant today, but we also want to investigate the possibility of other methods than violence to combat violence. Further, we will show how the school&#8217;s violent structures undermine a young, flourishing but forbidden love affair, but also highlight how the two manage to influence each other to break free from the negative patterns they are stuck in.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Piodor Gustafsson, director of Nordic drama for TV4 Media and C More, added: \u201cJan Guillou&#8217;s novel <em>Evil<\/em> is constantly relevant, perhaps more now than in a very long time. Breaking violent behaviors requires great individual courage. Examining and questioning masculinity is our responsibility. The series <em>Evil<\/em> does just that, but it is also a beautiful love story and, in the end, there is hope. We are very happy that we get the opportunity to collaborate with SF Studios and Erik Leijonborg and publish the 2020s version of the successful novel <em>Evil<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Evil, a best-selling novel from Jan Guillou, is set to be adapted as a series by SF Studios for C More and TV4.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1033,"featured_media":16586,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[738,4545,1934],"class_list":["post-16585","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-c-more","tag-evil","tag-sf-studios","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Evil Series Set for C More - TVDRAMA<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/evil-series-set-for-c-more\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Evil Series Set for C More - TVDRAMA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Evil, a best-selling novel from Jan Guillou, is set to be adapted as a series by SF Studios for C More and TV4.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/evil-series-set-for-c-more\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVDRAMA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2022-03-30T13:43:41+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2022-03-30T17:42:19+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2017\/07\/evil-sf-studios-cmore-0321.png\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"552\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"338\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/png\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/evil-series-set-for-c-more\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/evil-series-set-for-c-more\/\",\"name\":\"Evil Series Set for C More - TVDRAMA\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2022-03-30T13:43:41+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2022-03-30T17:42:19+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/evil-series-set-for-c-more\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/evil-series-set-for-c-more\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/evil-series-set-for-c-more\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Evil Series Set for C More\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/\",\"name\":\"TVDRAMA\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\",\"name\":\"Chelsea Regan\",\"description\":\"Chelsea Regan is the managing editor of World Screen.
