The Simple Heist, Series 2 Premiere: After pulling off a bank robbery in Series 1, pensioner best friends Jenny (Lotta Tejle) and Cecilia (Sissela Kyle) decide to tackle another classic heist: art theft. Where banks were the target in Series 1, their focus has now shifted to the rich, tax-evading men earning big money at the taxpayers’ expense. This is Kalmar’s local aristocracy, who play bridge at the gentlemen’s club and only watch out for each other. Once again, we find ourselves rooting for the most unlikely of criminals. The exclusive U.S. premiere will begin streaming on Monday, July 1.
