SkyShowtime announced production has begun on "The Trio" – a brand new six-part SkyShowtime Swedish Original series starring August Wittgenstein (The Crown) as ‘older’ Hugo and Felix Sandman (Sommartider) as August, alongside Seth Manteus (Cherries) and Rebecka Harper. Based on the captivating bestselling novel by Johanna Hedman, "The Trio" is a story about love, sex, and passion – a reflection on the meaning of life and the relentless passage of time.
"The Trio" is produced by SF Studios in co-production with SkyShowtime, SVT, Film Stockholm and Night Train Media. Ina Sohlberg, Tina Bergström, Emma Hägglund and Susann Billberg Rydholm will serve as Producers and Executive Producers respectively for SF Studios.

When middle-aged Hugo is approached by the daughter of both of his childhood loves, he is thrown back twenty years in time. Hugo is about to embark on his first years at university and has moved to Stockholm to live with the Stiller family. This is where he meets Thora, the daughter of the house. This is also where he meets August, Thora's constant companion and occasional lover. This is just the beginning of a wonderful friendship, a whirlwind love affair, and the realization that nothing will ever be the same again. This is also the reason why Hugo never truly moved on. Will he dare to reclaim everything he has lost?
Chief Content Officer at SkyShowtime, Kai Finke, emphasized the significance of the project, saying: 'We are incredibly excited to step into bold new territory with The Trio. This series is a passionate and fearless exploration of desire and connection. The Trio is unlike anything else we’ve commissioned and is exactly the kind of fresh storytelling we’re proud to champion. We can't wait for audiences to meet these thrilling characters," noted.
