Barracuda Queens is a Swedish heist drama series created and directed by Amanda Adolfsson, streaming exclusively on Netflix. Set in the affluent suburb of Djursholm near Stockholm during the mid-1990s, the show centers on four privileged teenage girls—Lollo, Klara, Frida, and Mia—who turn to burglary to cover party-related debts and push back against their privileged, constricted lives.
The plot is loosely based on true events, particularly the Lidingö League, a real-life group of young burglars from similarly wealthy backgrounds. The series merges teen drama with elements of crime thrillers and is praised for its bold attitude, sleek aesthetic, and nostalgic nods to the ’90s.
Season 1 debuted on June 5, 2023, with six episodes running between 26 and 34 minutes. Season 2 followed on June 5, 2025, with six new episodes. The cast includes Alva Bratt as Lollo Millkvist, Tindra Monsen as Klara Rapp, Sandra Zubovic as Frida Rapp, and Tea Stjärne as Mia Thorstensson. Supporting roles are played by Sarah Gustafsson and Izabella Scorupco.
The writing team features Camilla Ahlgren, Sofie Forsman, Tove Forsman, and Veronica Zacco. Known for its vibrant storytelling and strong female characters, Barracuda Queens offers a gripping mix of glamour, youthful rebellion, and suspense.
Fans of teen-centered thrillers like Elite or Sky High are likely to enjoy this stylish and daring series.
