In 2008, he made his stage directing debut with Hjalmar Söderberg's The Serious Game at Stockholm City Theater.^[1] The production starred Livia Millhagen as Lydia Stille and Gustaf Skarsgård as Arvid Stjärnblom.^[2] Dagens Nyheter critic Jenny Aschenbrenner [sv] gave the play a positive review, praising the acting, direction, and staging.^[3]

Disappearance

On 6 October 2011, Lagerlöf disappeared during preparations for the filming of Camilla Läckberg's Fjällbackamorden - Strandriddaren while scouting a planned filming location in the Tjurpannan nature reserve, with two crew members. The trio had split up but Lagerlöf did not meet up with the group again as planned. Lagerlöf left behind a wife and three children.^[4]

It is believed Lagerlöf was caught on slippery rocks by large waves sweeping the area and pulled out to sea near the steep cliffs outside Tanumshede in Bohuslän.^[4] There were no witnesses to what actually happened. As of 2024^[update], no remains have been found, and Lagerlöf is presumed deceased.^[5][6][7]
