PETER ARRHENIUS is a screenwriter who has been working in a wide variety of genres during his twenty year long career. As long as character comes first, he is as comfortable with political thrillers like
”Conspiracy of Silence” as he is with comedy shows like ”Welcome to Sweden” or family feature films such as ”Lasse-Maja: Skuggor över Valleby”.

Working with his personal projects Peter usually tries to challenge established truths, to find beauty in the ugly and darkness in the light. He is not afraid to leave the viewer with moral questions that are not always easy to answer - no matter if the viewer is 5, 55 or a 105 year old. Peter is also the author behind fifteen books for children and youth. 

Peter’s latest projects include being head writer for Netflix series “Clark” premiering in May 2022 as well as the 8th season of “Beck” for C More/TV4.
