It was also revealed, that Adam McKay will be the Executive Producer of the movie. News about the story and the released date will be revealed at a later stage.
It’s obvious, that the Contest who already took place 63 times give us enough stories to make a movie out of it.

Hey, I'm Dominik from Germany. Watched my first Eurovision in 2003 and I was in love right away! Attended my first contest in 2011 and every contest since 2013. The same happened with Melodifestivalen. Started watching in 2006 and been to every final since 2017 and try to make it to at least one heat each year, too. After all, Melodifestivalen is the real deal ♥
