A New Action Buddy Comedy Is About To POP!
My friends at “Action-A-Go-Go” showcased the terrific trailer for this new TV series premiering in the US on August 9 – and here’s some more great news – Keanu Reeves is part of it!
Make Room For these “Swedish Dicks!”
There is so much great TV on right now – and you will have to make room for one more!
“SWEDISH DICKS”, the new scripted procedural comedy about a mismatched pair of L.A.-based detectives, premieres on Pop Wednesday, August 9, at 8/7c.
Check out the trailer:
First of all, Peter Stormare is a great character Actor – one of his best roles is in “Seinfeld”, as one of the thugs hired to help George move the “Frogger” game….and of course, he was great in the movie “Fargo” as well…
Keanu Reeves Is Part Of The Show As Well!
The great news is that “John Wick” himself, Keanu Reeves, has a recurring role in the show! Here is the press release:
Starring Peter Stormare (“John Wick: Chapter 2,” “Fargo,” “American Gods”) and actor/comedian Johan Glans (Best Male Comedian, “Swedish Comedy Awards”) with special recurring guest star Keanu Reeves (“John Wick,” “The Matrix”), SWEDISH DICKS is a half-hour single camera comedy about an aging ex-stuntman (Stormare) stuck in the past, and an overly optimistic Swedish DJ (Glans) stuck in the digital world. Together they get unstuck by forming the private detective firm ‘Swedish Dicks’ – solving some of the strangest and wildest cases L.A. has ever seen. The 10-episode first season features an array of guest stars, including Traci Lords (“Cry-Baby,” “Melrose Place”), Margaret Cho (“Fashion Police,” “Drop Dead Diva”), Anthony LaPaglia (“Without a Trace,” “Frasier”) and Eric Roberts (“The Dark Knight,” “Suits”).
So, along with having a bunch of great guest stars in the series, Keanu is going mohave a recurring role in the show.
Wow. Lots of great guest stars! Thanks to my friends at “Actionagogo” for sharing this – you should check out their website, as they have tons of new trailers and other features about action movies, tv shows, pop culture, comics – from all around the world!
Aside from the hit “John Wick” series, Keanu keeps making great action films, like this one he directed a couple of years ago:
“Man Of Tai Chi” is a great martial arts action film – you can see the trailer and lots more about Keanu here:

Sounds like my kind of show. Feels like a call back to the kind of stuff they had going on in the 80s and the talent involved is great.

I know it sounds childish but the title made me chuckle.

Stormare is good, but I am unsure if this concept is for me. That said, it probably won’t air on TV here for a very long time.
