Overview
- The six-part family series, which begins Friday, April 3 at 9:20 a.m. on ZDF, will have all episodes available from 10:00 a.m. in the ZDF-Mediathek.
- Directed by Fredrik Edfeldt and co-written with Karin Arrhenius, the 2025 Swedish production stars Henrik Norlén, Elton Larsson and Vega Åhman.
- Each episode runs about 25 minutes and preserves the book’s gentle, episodic pace designed for family viewing.
- The Melkersson family is modestly updated with added siblings and a niece, and the cast reflects a more contemporary mix.
- Shot on location in the Stockholm archipelago, the release fits a broader Lindgren revival, with talk of further remakes reported but not confirmed.
