Bill Skarsg\u00e5rd (IT<\/a>, Eternals<\/a>) stars as the charismatic criminal, with the six-part series using Olofsson\u2019s autobiography to tell a fictionalised version of events from his own perspective.<\/p>\n The official synopsis for the series reads: \u201cThe fictional drama series Clark follows the man behind the expression \u201cThe Stockholm syndrome\u201d on his life journey as he fooled all of Sweden to fall in love with him, despite several counts of drug trafficking, attempted murder, assault, theft and dozens of bank robberies.<\/p>\n \u201cBased on the truths and lies revealed in Clark Olofsson\u2019s autobiography and directed by Jonas \u00c5kerlund, the series provides a fictional take on one of the most controversial personalities in contemporary Swedish history.\u201d<\/p>\n Read on for everything you need to know about Clark on Netflix.<\/p>\n All six episodes of Clark will release on Thursday 5th May 2022<\/strong>, so there isn\u2019t long to wait now.<\/p>\n The episodes range between 54 minutes and 69 minutes long, meaning the series clocks in at around about six hours \u2013 perfect for a weekend binge.<\/p>\n Bill Skarsg\u00e5rd leads the cast as Clark Olofsson, a charming yet dangerous career criminal. He is joined by his own brother Kolbj\u00f6rn Skarsg\u00e5rd, who plays the young Clark, alongside actors including Adam Lundgren (Chernobyl<\/a>), Vilhelm Blomgren (Midsommar<\/a>) and Hanna Bjorn.<\/p>\n The full cast list includes:<\/p>\n The series is directed by Jonas \u00c5kerlund, the prolific music video director who also directed Mads Mikkelsen thriller Polar.<\/p>\n Skarsg\u00e5rd said of his casting in the show: \u201cClark Olofsson is, for good and bad, one of Sweden\u2019s most colourful and fascinating individuals. I accept this challenge with delight mingled with terror and think that with Jonas [\u00c5kerlund, director] and Netflix in the back, we can tell a groundbreaking story with a pace and madness we may not have seen on TV before.<\/p>\n \u201cClark\u2019s life and history is so incredible and screwed that it would even make Scorsese blush.\u201d<\/p>\n The series is based on Clark Olofsson\u2019s autobiography,\u00a0and tells the story of his criminal life (beginning in the 1960s) and his journey to becoming \u201cone of the most controversial personalities in contemporary Swedish history\u201d.<\/p>\n The series also covers the infamous, failed robbery at the Norrmalmstorg square in Stockholm, Sweden in August 1973, which gave rise to the term \u201cStockholm Syndrome\u201d.<\/p>\n His life was full of shocking and unbelievable events which are charted throughout the episodes. However, given that the series is also told from Clark\u2019s perspective, it is given a fictional bent: he\u2019s an unreliable narrator so, while the events may have occurred as they do in the show in his head, reality was likely very different.<\/p>\n You can watch the glorious, wild trailer for Clark below.<\/p>\nClark release date<\/strong><\/h2>\n
