This Is Not Sweden


This Is Not Sweden is a Spanish–Swedish comedy-drama television series created by Aina Clotet, Valentina Viso, and Dani González from an original idea by Clotet and Sergi Cameron.

Plot

Mariana and Samuel go to live in Vallvidrera, a mountain neighbourhood in Barcelona, to raise their children in a more authentic place, far from their respective painful childhoods. There they find a community of people with the same aspirations. But when a tragedy shakes the neighbourhood, they dismantle their ideal, the couple's certainties begin to waver and fear settles in, coming dangerously close to everything they were trying to run away from.

Production and release

The series is a Nanouk Films, Funicular Films, and Anagram Sweden production, co-produced by RTVE, TV3, and SVT, together with NDR and Yle. The eight-episode season debuted on RTVE Play on 28 November 2023. TV3 aired the first episode of the series a day earlier, on 27 November 2023, and then broadcast the rest of the series on a weekly basis. The series premiered on SVT 1 in spring 2024.
