Production has started for an untitled Netflix fictional series inspired by the book Spotify Untold by Sven Carlsson and Jonas Leijonhufvud. It'll be a six-part limited series that focuses on the young Swedish tech entrepreneur Daniel Ek and his key partners who revolutionized the music industry by offering a free, legal music streaming service.
According to Variety, the book told the story of the company's "thorny" journey, "from the challenge of persuading hardline record labels to sign up, to Steve Jobs' personal war on Spotify's U.S. launch, and widely publicized conflicts with the likes of Taylor Swift and Bob Dylan." Investigative technology journalists Carlsson and Leijonhufvud had over 70 interviews telling the tale of Spotify.
