The first two seasons have been shown on SVT Play and in September the recordings of the third season will begin.

- It feels absolutely incredible, it's great fun, says Alexandra Thönnersten, producer.

Both she and the whole team were very happy when they received the news.

- It really is a dream come true. Thought that Eagles, our little series has become so big.

Competing against major TV series

The series' creator Stefan H Lindén is at least as happy.

- It feels both unreal and fun, it was fantastic news. Glad we get to participate and compete against such big TV series.

He celebrates by going to Oskarshamn this weekend and there will probably be some celebration with the family tonight. 

The gala kicks off on August 27, but only a few of the candidates from the various productions will have the opportunity to participate.

- We will gather the team and celebrate together in some way, says Stefan H Lindén.
