Production Notes
The 12-part series was heavily promoted as TV4’s biggest – and most expensive – drama venture ever and was a collaboration between TV4 and the Swedish Film Industry. At the time it was rumored to have cost SEK 50 million to produce, which remained unconfirmed by TV4. However, “Labyrint” was a viewing flop. Screenwriter Lars Lundström called the series “a television series that does not fall within any given genre. We want to find our own tone, our own expression, and Labyrinth will be both exciting, dramatic, engaging, funny and unpredictable”. The series had already been sold on to channels in Norway, Denmark and Finland before it premiered. The five main roles featured Jonas Malmsjö, Robert Jelinek, Isabelle Moraeu, Björn Bengtsson and Meliz Karlge di Grado. In total, there were over 14 recurring characters. “Labyrint” was accompanied by 12 so-called mobisodes, which were shown exclusively online. Noomi Rapace appeared in seven of those.
