The teaser trailer and teaser artwork give a first taste of The Emigrants and the life-changing journey that Kristina and Karl Oskar embark on in the hope of a new, better life. It is a magnificent and timeless adventure about finding a place in the world, a new home, and the bravery to follow a dream.

”The story that Vilhelm Moberg told over 70 years ago is a timeless classic and more relevant today than when it was first written,” says Fredrik Wikström Nicastro, producer at SF Studios. “In The Emigrants, we follow Kristina and Karl-Oskar’s courageous choices to leave everything behind for the chance to start over and build a new, better life for themselves and their family. It’s a sensational adventure they take us on, which is about finding their place in the world, finding a new home. This is a dream project that we have developed for many years and together with a fantastic crew and cast, and we are excited to finally be able to share the first trailer of the film with the audience”, Fredrik Wikström Nicastro continues.

Taking on a popular novel classic where over one and a half million Swedes moved to the United States in the hope of a new better life could not be more relevant.

“I want to interpret The Emigrants novel series in a new way. Their brave choice to flee this country more than 100 years ago for the opportunity to create a new life for themselves, for their children. Choices that are just as relevant today to many people around the world. Who we were then and who makes these choices today. It makes the story gripping, seductive and constantly relevant. The film should reflect that and this time through Kristina's eyes”, Erik Poppe continues.

The Emigrants is produced by SF Studios with producer Fredrik Wikström Nicastro in co-production with TV4/Cmore, Film i Väst, Nordsvensk Filmunderhållning, Paradox, SF Studios Danmark and Fantefilm with the support from the Swedish Film Institute, Nordisk Film & TV Fond, The Norwegian Film Institute, The Danish Film Institute and DR.

The Emigrants is one of many high-profile projects lined up by SF Studios, including the Danish epic drama Margrete Queen of the North, the Norwegian feature film Quisling, the Swedish feature film A Swedish Christmas Tale and Swedish original series Snabba Cash for Netflix. 

The film is distributed by SF Studios in the Nordics and will be released in Swedish cinemas on Christmas Day 2021 followed by a theatrical release in the Nordics during spring 2022. REinvent handles international sales.
