Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Based on Anders Jacobsson & Sören Olsson's beloved Swedish book series spanning 30+ novels since 1987. Bert is basically Sweden's national cringe-teen.
The show deliberately avoids the glossy Netflix teen look — these kids actually look like real 14-year-olds with bad skin and worse decisions.
