In February 2021 reported The Variety that “The Crown” success would get a Swedish version. It will be broadcast by the Swedish channel TV4, together with the streaming service C More.
– Everyone in Sweden has a relationship to the monarchy and its history, no matter what opinions they have, said series developer Josefine Tengblad in TV4 and C More, to the newspaper at the time.
There is no doubt that Victoria is somewhat skeptical that the family will be portrayed in the Swedish version.
– Yes, so for those who are portrayed, it will probably always feel very strange, so it probably feels that way. How can it possibly be right? It is difficult to handle, especially when the people are alive, she tells the newspaper.
When asked who the Crown Princess wants to play her in the series, there is nothing she is so eager to answer.
– I would rather not be portrayed. Maybe I’m gone all season, she says with a laugh.

The Swedish court’s information manager, Margareta Thorgren, has previously stated Today’s News that it is important that the series is as close to the truth as possible, but that they have no control over the dramatic part of the series.
According to Aftonbladet According to the plan, two seasons will be recorded, the first of which is expected to premiere this year and will consist of six episodes. However, it has not yet been announced who will play the royal family members.
According to Dagens Nyheter, the series will take place in true “The Crown” style, and will follow the king’s journey from childhood to his current life as a monarch. Carl Gustaf became king of Sweden in 1973 – only 27 years old.
And precisely that has not been an easy journey for the Swedish king. Over the years, he has been the main character in a number of royal scandals and has been exposed to wild rumors.
Whether these events will appear in the upcoming series is uncertain, but See and Hear royal house expert Caroline Vagle said that it is not unlikely that the king’s extravagant life will be a theme in Swedish “The Crown”.
– I do not know how “tough” they intend to be, but it is not unlikely that they will visit the king’s famous strip club visit and maybe also his alleged mistress. Princess Madeleine’s broken engagement is also a topic I would think the series – eventually – touches on, she said at the time.
