’The Congregation’ Producer B-Reel On Season 2 Of Its Swedish Crime Drama, Plans For A ‘Bloody Men’ Film & English-Language Moves — Göteborg

deadline.com:

Crime drama based on real-life events rarely delves into what happens after the case in question, but that is what the team behind buzzy Swedish series The Congregation: The Bride of Christ have done.

The second season of the B-Reel Films-produced drama premieres at the ongoing Göteborg Film Festival where the crowd will see two instalments.

The first season bowed on Swedish broadcaster TV4 in 2021. It dramatized a twisted murder mystery in the rural Swedish village of Knutby that involved a cult-like church congregation.

The six-episode sophomore season drops on TV4 Play next month. It covers a part of the story about this congregation that isn’t as well known, even in Sweden, explains Johannes Åhlund, a Managing Partner at B-Reel and producer on both series of The Congregation. “Most of the documentaries and articles on Knutby have covered up until the murder that ended Season 1 of [The Congregation], but we’re coming back to the congregation after the fact.
