Sony Pictures Television’s long-rumoured acquisition of the Skarsgård is finally official, with the company adding a hugely successful household of Swedish actors to its growing arsenal.
Sony announced on Monday that it had taken a majority stake in the family, which includes patriarch Stellan Skarsgård, plus sons including Alexander and Bill. Financial details weren’t disclosed, but industry sources put the cost at around $90 million.
“We’re absolutely thrilled to be starting this exciting new relationship with the incredible Skarsgårds, and can’t wait to see the fruits of this collaboration,” said a Sony spokesperson in a statement.
“With Stellan still going strong thanks to Chernobyl and Dune, Alexander hitting new heights with The Northman and Succession, Bill recently seen in Eternals and with the next John Wick lined up, and even Gustaf, one of the lesser-known Skarsgårds, having been cast in Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer, this is a family that shows no sign of slowing down.”
Added the spokesperson: “And with more Skarsgårds being discovered all the time, we really do have high hopes for our investment.”
