HENRIK GEORGSSON is an award-winning and highly respected Swedish director of theatrical feature films, TV-drama series and documentaries.

He is best known for his outstanding work with the international hit-series “Bron” / “The Bridge” which has received several international awards and nominations, including winning the Prix Europe for Best TV Drama, a Dagger award for Best International TV Drama, a Golden Nymph at Monte Carlo TV Festival and receiving a BAFTA Nomination for Best International TV Drama.

Henrik combins great performance from actors with a strong visual ambition in a wide range of genres – from colorful and funny drama for kids, teenage love, warm feel-good drama to chilling suspenseful crime series and emotionally strong drama series.

His latest work include the six hour long true crime documentary series “Knutby - I blind tro” / “Pray Obey Kill” for HBO (a documentary about a Swedish small-town congregation that turned into a sect with fatal results) and the British crime drama series “Grace” based on the bestselling Roy Grace novels by Peter James.
