Thorbjörn Eklund started making this series in 2011 and it took seven years before it came into production and shown on TV.
In the beginning, the series was called "Monty & Tore". But changed name to "Lika men Olika", due to better fit the description of its content.
This is the first major production, which Storleden AB and IT's Production (Thorbjörn Eklubnd) have done together.
