Netflix is putting Spotify on its playlist, and a new trailer gives us a first look at the Swedish drama.

The Playlist, directed by Per-Olav Sørensen (Quicksand, Nobel), is a fictional series that follows young tech entrepreneur Daniel Ek and his key partners, who revolutionised a whole industry by offering free and legal streamed music around the world. It is a story about how hard convictions, unrelenting will, access and big dreams can help small players challenge the status quo by evolving the way we can all listen to music. 

The lead cast members are Edvin Endre (Vikings) as Daniel Ek, Ulf Stenberg (Beartown) as Per Sundin, Gizem Erdogan (Love & Anarchy, Caliphate) as Petra Hansson, Joel Lützow (Gåsmamman) as Andreas Ehn, Christian Hillborg (The Last Kingdom) as Martin Lorentzon and Janice Kamya Kavander as Bobbie T.

The six 45-minute episodes will premiere on 13th October. Here’s the trailer:
