The show comes with a talented cast lineup, including Rolf Lassgård, Elsa Saisio, Anders Mossling, Niklas Engdahl, Filip Berg, and Adam Lundgren. In an interview, the director of Whiskey On the Rocks says that although the incident happened 40 years ago, it still feels so relevant in the contemporary world.

“The true story behind Whiskey on the Rocks is both dramatic and absurd, and something we felt would work very well as political satire. The ambition was to use a visual and suspenseful language to contrast and enhance the humor, in a way you rarely see in comedies. Then when it shifts into true suspense we are already in that visual world. And although the events in the series happened more than 40 years ago, looking around the world today, it is frighteningly topical,” says director Björn Stein.
