Variety Intelligence Platform May 16, 2019 2:16AM PT # HBO Europe Releases First Look Trailer for Lukas Moodysson TV Comedy 'Gosta' HBO Europe has released the first-look teaser trailer for Lukas Moodysson's upcoming TV comedy series "Gosta." The highly-anticipated show marks the acclaimed Swedish filmmaker's first foray into television and was HBO's first commissioned drama series out of Scandinavia. The eponymous Gosta (Vilhelm Blomgren) is a 28-year old child psychologist who gets his first job in a small rural town. He wants to be the kindest person in the world and help everyone he meets, but sometimes it goes better than others. Amy Deasismont and Mattias Silvell also star as Gosta's girlfriend and father, respectively. The trailer opens and closes with the three leads on a car journey. The show was written and directed by Moodysson, with the trailer's comedic tone akin to titles like 2000's "Together" and 2013's "We Are the Best!" among the director's feature work. The first four 30-minute episodes will debut across HBO Europe's territories July 1, with the remaining eight episodes airing in pairs on subsequent Mondays. When the project was first announced in September 2017, Moodysson said: "I want 'Gosta' to be a mix of comedy and Dostoevsky: as funny as possible and as serious as possible." The cast also includes Clara Drake, Regina Lund, Elisabet Carlsson, Nidhal Fares, and Gustav Berg. It was produced by Lars Jonsson for Memfis Film. Hanne Palmquist, Steve Matthews and Antony Root serve as executive producers for HBO. REinvent Studios International Sales handle international sales outside of HBO Europe territories. ### Popular on Variety Loading comments... ### Most Viewed ### 'GLOW' Star Betty Gilpin in Talks to Join Chris Pratt in 'Ghost Draft' (EXCLUSIVE) ### HBO Max Lands Steven Soderbergh's Next Film Starring Meryl Streep ### 'Marvelous Mrs. Maisel' Sets Season 3 December Premiere Date, Drops First Trailer (Watch) ### Must Read ### HBO Max Lands Steven Soderbergh's Next Film Starring Meryl Streep ### ViacomCBS Sets Board Members; Bob Bakish, Joe Ianiello New Deals Disclosed ### 'The Hunt' Director Breaks Silence on Film's Cancellation (EXCLUSIVE) ### Sign Up for Daily Insider Newsletter Please fill out this field with valid email address. ### More TV ### Disney Shares Slip Amid Reported Whistleblower Allegations of Inflated Revenue Sandra Kuba, a former senior financial analyst for Disney's revenue operations unit, says she has filed a series of whistleblower tips with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, alleging that the entertainment conglomerate repeatedly and systematically overstated its revenue for years, according to a MarketWatch report, by as much as $6 billion in a single [... ### ViacomCBS Sets Board Members; Bob Bakish, Joe Ianniello New Deals Disclosed ViacomCBS has unveiled the 13 members of its board of directors and details of new employment contracts for president-CEO Bob Bakish and CBS chairman-CEO Joe Ianniello.
