About the project
The highly anticipated second season of The Congregation is set to premiere on Swedish TV4 on February 18th. Ahead of the TV release, the first two episodes will be showcased at the Gothenburg Film Festival on January 29th as part of their Nordic Light section.
The new season delves deeper into Eva's story, the Bride of Christ, played by Aliette Opheim. Following a brutal murder, the focus shifts to Knutby Pentecostal, where the congregation grows even more insular. As a new pastor, Örjan, becomes Eva’s confidant, a darker reality emerges behind the group's polished exterior, where control, manipulation, and oppression continue to flourish.
Inspired by the true events in the small Swedish town of Knutby, The Congregation is a gripping tale of sectarianism, abuse, arranged marriages, and dangerous prophecies. The series is produced by B-Reel Films for TV4 in co-production with Film Stockholm and Fifth Season.
