Bill Skarsgård will play Swedish criminal Clark Olofsson in a drama for Netflix – and a new trailer gives us a first look at him in action.

Clark, a six-part series, will see the actor best known for his role as Pennywise in the It film franchise portray the famous gangster, who has managed to escape prisons and committed robberies all over Europe, and gave rise to the idea of Stockholm Syndrome.

Based on the truth and lies of Olofsson’s autobiography, the Swedish-language series will feature Clark’s early years until present day. The notorious gangster started his criminal career in the 1960s and became one of the most controversial personalities in contemporary Swedish history. Convicted of several counts of drug trafficking, attempted murder, assault, theft and dozens of bank robberies, he has spent more than half his life behind bars and has left behind a trail of trauma, heartbreak, disappointment and general devastation.

Here’s the trailer:
