Anno 1790 is a Swedish historic crime drama starring Peter Eggers, Joel Spira and Linda Zilliacus.
[2][3] The series is based on an original idea by executive producer Johan Mardell and lead writer Jonas Frykberg.
[5] The main character is Johan Gustav Dåådh (Peter Eggers) a former army physician from the Russo-Swedish War (1788–1790), now criminal inspector in Stockholm.
Simon Freund is in many ways Inspector Dåådh's opposite, being a more conservative man with a strong faith in God, though he does have a bad habit of drinking.
[5] The series was shot using Arriflex Alexa, a film-style digital motion picture camera similar to Red One.
