Today Netflix announced a second season for the hugely successful and critically acclaimed Swedish original series Snabba Cash starring Evin Ahmad in the leading role. Snabba Cash Season 2 will be written by Oskar Söderlund and directed by Jesper Ganslandt, who also are the creators and show runners behind the series. The series is produced by Nicklas Wikström Nicastro for SF Studios in collaboration with Strive Stories. Snabba Cash Season 2 will be released globally on Netflix in 2022.

After the dramatic end of the first season, the second season continues the thrilling story of Leya and her contrasting life between a ruthless start-up environment and Stockholm’s underworld.

Evin Ahmad (Dröm Vidare, Quicksand, The Rain), will once again play the leading role as Leya. The creators from Snabba Cash Season 1, director Jesper Ganslandt (Falkenberg Farewell, The Ape, 438 Days) and screenwriter Oskar Söderlund (The Fat and the Angry, Greyzone), will also continue with Season 2.

“With Snabba Cash Season 1 we wanted to tell a contemporary story. With characters that, though they commit morally doubtful acts, share the same feelings and dreams as many of us. We are overwhelmed that so many people have taken our series to their hearts. But the coolest thing of all is that a lot of people have felt they finally have been represented in a big drama series. That is truly the finest reward of all”, says Jesper Ganslandt, director, and Oskar Söderlund, head writer.

The Netflix original series Snabba Cash is inspired by the internationally acclaimed book Snabba Cash by author Jens Lapidus, who has sold more than 3,8 million books worldwide. Snabba Cash has previously also been successfully adapted into three feature films, all produced by SF Studios.

Snabba Cash Season 2 is produced by Nicklas Wikström Nicastro (A Man Called Ove, The Lawyer) who also produced the first season for SF Studios.

“I am so grateful to be able to continue the joyous collaboration together with Oskar and Jesper after what we achieved on the first season. I am also thrilled to do this together with the friends at SF Studios and Netflix, who have shown this project nothing but faith and support ever since it was first initiated” says Nicklas Wikström Nicastro, producer.

SF Studios has besides the Netflix original series Snabba Cash also produced the first Swedish Netflix film Red Dot, that has been well received by international media and audiences and has just started the production for the first Danish Netflix film Loving Adults.

“It’s an honour to be able to produce a second season of Snabba Cash for Netflix. Season 1 engaged and moved a broad cross section of both the Swedish and international public, and we look forward to continuing that success in a second season with the outstanding talent behind this show”, says Tim King, EVP Production and Susann Billberg Rydholm, Head of TV Drama at SF Studios.

Snabba Cash Season 2 will be released globally on Netflix in 2022.
