Netflix teases trailer for show about Spotify's rise

Netflix recently unveiled a new trailer for an upcoming show centred around Spotify's creation. As seen in the almost two-minute trailer, it takes that high-stakes business drama approach. But if you think this show will be an accurate retelling of Spotify's history, you may be disappointed. The trailer says it's based on "6 untold stories," but it also emphasized that the show is a "fictionalized account." The Playlist is inspired by Spotify Untold, a book by two Swedish business reporters about the company. This six-episode series will debut on Netflix on October 13.

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.
