Beartown

Based on Fredrik Backman's bestselling novel of the same name, Beartown (Björnstad) centers on a floundering community in Sweden that places its dreams of revitalization on the teenage shoulders of its junior ice hockey team. Boosted by their new professional-athlete-turned coach Peter (Ulf Stenberg) and rising star Kevin (Oliver Dufaker), the boys finally have a shot at securing a national title - until a violent act threatens to destroy Beartown entirely. Through its raw exploration of family, community, and integrity, this compelling, five-part limited series spotlights how the very thing that brings a small town together can also tear it apart.
