Release date set for The Playlist, the Netflix series based on SPOTIFY UNTOLD

Posted on 15/09/2022 in Film/TV

We are happy to announce that Netflix will premiere new series The Playlist on October 13th!

The series is based on the book SPOTIFY UNTOLD, written by journalists Sven Carlsson and Jonas Leijonhuvud.
It is a behind-the-scenes exposé of how self-made prodigy Daniel Ek and his financial partner Martin Lorentzon would bet everything on the power of an idea, creating Sweden’s hottest start-up that would become the thorn in Apple’s side. Drawing on over seventy interviews, along with previously untapped sources, this is a David vs Goliath story about how strong convictions, unrelenting willpower, and big dreams can help small players take on the titans of tech.

The newly released trailer for the series can be viewed here.

Book rights for SPOTIFY UNTOLD have recently been acquired in 16 territories, including the US.
