Together 99 (Swedish: Tillsammans 99) is a 2023 Swedish-Danish comedy-drama film written and directed by Lukas Moodysson.[1] A sequel to his 2000 film Together (Tillsammans), the film revisits the commune of Together in 1999 when Göran (Gustaf Hammarsten) and Klasse (Shanti Roney), as the only remaining residents of the community, decide to organize a reunion of their old friends.[2]

The film entered production in 2022.[3] Most of the original actors returned, with the exception of the children, Michael Nyqvist who died in 2017, and Ola Rapace, whose role of Lasse was recast with actor Jonas Karlsson.[4]

It premiered in the Special Presentations program at the 2023 Toronto International Film Festival.[5]
