Clark Trailer: Bill Skarsgård is The Man Behind Stockholm Syndrome
Bill Skarsgård is the man behind the term Stockholm Syndrome in the new Netflix series Clark. Skarsgård is a Swedish actor who gained international fame after his role as Matthew in Allegiant in 2016. The actor is best known for his haunting performance in the 2017 remake of IT and IT: Chapter Two, where he portrayed the terrifying Pennywise the Dancing Clown.
The official teaser trailer just released for one of Skarsgård’s upcoming projects: Clark. Skarsgård plays the titular Clark Olofsson, whose hostages famously tried to protect after being held against their will during a robbery, coining the term Stockholm Syndrome. Despite being said to be a crime drama, these high energy clips suggest the series will be riddled with comedy. Check out the full teaser trailer below:
During its six episode run, the series will showcase Olofsson’s life. It’s set to depict his early years through to present day, featuring the start of his criminal career in the 1960s. Clark will explore this notorious criminal’s long list of crimes, including attempted murder, narcotics trafficking, assault, and robbery. Director Jonas Åkerlund (Lords of Chaos, Polar) has praised Skarsgård on his performance, saying he’s “the perfect patch” for the show.
Skarsgård is not the only star studded cast member to appear in the series. Acting alongside his Clark is Vikings star Alicia Agneson and Vilhelm Blomgren known for Midsommar. Clark has been in post-production since June 2021, and while there is no set release date as of yet it is expected to premiere on Netflix later this year.
