The terrifying movie, A Friend of the Family, was inspired by the true story of the Broberg family, whose daughter Jan was held captive for years by a seductive but unstable “friend.” The Brobergs, who were committed to their neighborhood, home, and principles, were caught off guard by their neighbor’s sly use of their weaknesses to create friction and sway their kids in their favor. Here is the account of how their lives were drastically altered and how they overcame it.

The planned limited series is based on the true incident of the Broberg family, in which the daughter, Jan, was repeatedly abducted over an extended period by a charming, deranged “friend” of the parents. The Brobergs were caught off guard by the cunning strategies their neighbour and friend devised to exploit their frailties, drive them apart, and brainwash their precious daughter against them, according to the official summary. Their family and community were at the centre of their life, which had been devoted to their theology. This story is how they describe getting through the challenging days when their lives were flipped upside down.

It’s terrifying to think that in 1972, a charismatic man used his charm to get away with things like teenage marriage, drug usage, and torrid secrets. But that’s exactly what happened before there was Chris Hansen, the internet, or mobile phones. Universal Content Productions is finally presenting to us the mind-blowing tale that you must see to believe after 50 years. By mixing delicate pastels, dreamy remembrance, and beautiful dark undertones, Nick Antosca, the creator of the series and the director of the true-crime film The Act and the upcoming Netflix original Brand New Cherry Flavor, creates the strange feeling that everything is simultaneously wonderful and very not right.

The story of the Broberg family, whose daughter Jan was repeatedly taken hostage over years by a seductive, deranged family “friend,” forms the basis of the movie A Friend of the Family. The Brobergs, who were committed to their neighborhood, family, and faith, were unprepared for the cunning strategies their neighbor employed to take advantage of their weaknesses, push them apart, and turn their daughter against them.

This dark drama’s plot has taken an unexpected turn. Production on the series began in earnest that same month after gaining Peacock’s permission in February 2022. On October 6, 2022, A Friend of the Family’s second season will premiere. This is a record-breaking amount of time for a television series. Season two is currently in post-production.

The new true-crime series A Friend of the Family is once again depicting the horrific events of Jan Broberg Felt’s youth. She was abducted by the same man, family friend and neighbor Robert Berchtold when she was both 12 and 14. The fact that Jan’s father Bob Broberg later acknowledged having a love relationship with Berchtold at that time, as reported in Vanity Fair, adds to the already stunning nature of the incident.
