Malin Lagerlöf

Malin Lagerlöf is the creator and writer of the TV series Farang (2017); however, she began her career by writing for the stage. Lagerlöf has crafted more than a dozen plays for theaters in and around Sweden. Lagerlöf’s career in film and TV took off in 1999 when she wrote the feature film Vägen Ut, which was nominated for a Guldbagge Award in the category ‘Best Screenplay’. This success was quickly followed by the popular feature films Hans och Hennes (2001) and Miffo (2003). Known for her diversity as a writer, Lagerlöf easily moves between writing for the stage, feature film production, and TV series such as Wallander (2013) and the acclaimed Bibliotekstjuven (2011), both of which were nominated in 2011 for the Kristallen Award in the category ‘Best Drama Series’.

Furthermore, Lagerlöf is co-creator and writer of the Viaplay series Conspiracy of Silence (2018). Currently, she is working on a feature film and a TV series, soon to be made official.
