Time for an updated version of “Ronja Rövardotter”.

In addition to the Wild White Trolls, the foam trolls and the butt goblins, a bunch of really experienced actors take part.

But how do the old actors stack up against the new?

Ronja Rövardotttern herself

Hanna Zetterberg, was only eleven years old when “Ronja Rövardotter” opened in cinemas in Sweden. The film was, to say the least, a smash hit. When the protagonist now thinks back, that time is not entirely positive. In “Mauri – what happened next?” on TV4, Zetterberg says that the uproar meant that she was “deprived” of her teenage years and was not left alone. New Ronja is Kerstin Lindén who was 14 years old when the recording started and is therefore a little older than her predecessor. Kerstin Linden has previously played the daughter Lill-Märta in “The Emigrants” and has also appeared in the Christmas calendar “The Crown Prince who disappeared”.

Alphahannen Mattis

Börje Ahlstedt in his time owned the role of Ronja’s noisy and choleric robber father. Christopher Wagelin is the actor who now shoulders Matti’s mantle in the new “Ronja”. Wagelin has previously, among other things, been seen in the television series “Murder in Sanhamn”, “Summer with the family” and “Love me”.

Please Birk Borkasson

Little Cliff the Robber

A young Tommy Körberg played Lill-klippen, one of the Mattisrövars who likes to take the lead. The new “Lill-klippen” is played by the relatively unknown actor Nils Kärnekull.

New characters

In the new TV series, we get to know the people in a nearby village, where poverty, hunger and desperation prevail, partly because of the robbery in the forests.
