The Olsen Gang

In the heart of modern-day Copenhagen, “The Olsen Gang” follows the misadventures of a quirky group of lovable outlaws, led by the clever and eternally optimistic Egon Olsen. Known for his elaborate heists and wild schemes, Egon dreams of making it big, despite his constant run-ins with the law and his charismatic but bumbling crew. The gang, consisting of the brawny yet simple-minded Benny, the shrewd and resourceful Kjeld, and the ever-skeptical woman of the group, Yvonne, finds themselves in a perpetual struggle against a system that seems determined to keep them from their dreams.

Set against a backdrop of picturesque streets and bustling markets, the series begins with Egon hatching his latest plan to steal a rare artifact from a local museum. With his meticulous planning and a flair for the dramatic, Egon believes this heist will finally secure the financial freedom they’ve always craved.
