In this popular reimagining of the hit Dutch drama Penoza, Alexandra Rapaport (The Sandhamn Murders) stars as Sonja, a suburban mom living in Stockholm with her successful husband and three adorable children. And they all live happily ever after. No, just kidding. Here’s what really happens: Sonja’s husband, Fredrik, is in the marijuana biz together with Sonja’s jailbird brother, Niklas, and their buddy Stein, who proves to have exceptionally poor judgment as he steals 35 kilos of coke from a gangster named Broman. The coke goes missing, Fredrik winds up dead and Broman, naturally enough, wants his money – which results in Sonja being drawn into the criminal underworld to pay off the debt. Delicious mayhem, thrilling plot twists and unbearable suspense follow as this suburban mom balances her new life life as a single mom with her burgeoning career as a gangland boss. But where have we seen these actors before…?
Alexandra Rapaport
Alexandra Rapaport plays the titular Gåsmamman, which translates as “Mother Goose” – it’s all explained in Season 1 Episode 4. One of Sweden’s most popular and prolific actors, you’ll recognize Alexandra from many other marquee MHz Choice titles: The Sandhamn Murders, Spring Tide and Johan Falk, to name a few. She’s also the executive producer of this series, so a boss in real life as well.
Magnus Roosman
Magnus Roosman plays Sonja’s husband, Fredrik. You might also recognize him as the crooked lawyer Fredrixon in the Johan Falk series.
Joel Lützow and Clara Christiansson
Joel Lützow plays Sonja’s teenage son, Gustav, and Clara Christiansson plays Gustav’s moody sister, Nina. The same year they filmed Gåsmamman, Joel and Clara appeared together in The Sandhamn Murders – also starring Alexandra Rapaport. (Small world, huh?)
Edvin Ryding
Edvin Ryding plays little Linus, youngest of the Ek siblings. You might also recognize a slightly older Edvin as Gunnar Andersson in Miss Friman’s War!
Gustaf Hammarsten
Gustaf Hammarsten plays drug kingpin Christian Broman – a very different character to the one he played as Axel Friman in Miss Friman’s War!
Shebly Niavarani
Shebly Niavarani plays policeman Emil Svensson. In Johan Falk, he was on the opposite side of the law, playing gangster Avram Khan throughout the second season of that show.
Ulf Friberg
Ulf Friberg plays tough guy Lukas in Gåsmamman. You might also recognize him as Maria Wern’s colleague Ek and as Holger in Don’t Ever Wipe Tears Without Gloves.
Anja Lundqvist
Anja Lundqvist plays Kattis – wife of Stein and best friend of Sonja – in Gåsmamman. She also played Kim Leko, the wife of Dragomir Mrsic’s title character in Alex.
On the other side of the camera, Gåsmamman is a production of Filmlance International, the Swedish production house responsible for a number of MHz Choice subscriber favorites: Beck, Spring Tide and The Sandhamn Murders. The husband-and-wife team of Camilla Ahlgren and Martin Asphaug handled writing duties for the series, and director Richard Holm is probably best known to MHz Choice subscribers for his work on Johan Falk.
