SF Studios has purchased a majority share in the production company FLX, which is behind the recently released Netflix series Quicksand.

The Swedish production house has also produced TV dramas such as Bonus Family and box-office hits like The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared and Solsidan. FLX Founder Felix Herngren and CEO Pontus Edgren will remain as significant shareholders and executives within the company.

Michael Porseryd, CEO at SF Studios, said: “The team at FLX, headed by Felix Herngren and Pontus Edgren, is among the most talented in our industry. We’ve worked together for several years through a distribution output deal on the feature film side, and this is the next step in bringing us together. To continue to lead and develop the film and TV industry together with them, will be very exciting and inspiring.”

Herngren and Edgren added: “We have run FLX together for the last six to seven years and it has been an incredible journey with a growth that we couldn’t even imagine. Now the time has come for a new chapter in our history. SF Studios is a very strong player in the Nordic region with international ambitions. With SF Studios as a majority owner in FLX, we will strengthen our opportunities within distribution and in addition increase our possibilities to bring FLX’s productions to the international market.”
