-owned Swedish production company Filmlance, has smashed all-time viewing records on Sweden’s SVT Play, the catch-up VOD service of public broadcaster SVT, Endemol Shine Group confirmed Wednesday.The biggest success ever on SVT Play, Endemol Shine said, “Caliphate” bowed on SVT on Jan. 12 where it is already known to have attracted an average of over 600,000 adult viewers during its first month on Play, a record for the streaming service.
That can be put down to “Caliphate” itself. On one hand, it is an edge-of-the-seat thriller, turning on the excruciating daily danger suffered by a young Swedish mother, Pervin, who is desperate negotiating safe passage out of Syria for herself and her baby with the Swedish intelligence services while remaining married there to Raqqa-based IS member Hasum, a Muslim Swede.
An eight-part series, “Caliphate” is based on an idea by Wilhelm Behrman, who created the series together with Nikolas Rockström. Directed by The Guldbagge awarded director Goran Kapetanovic , the series marks Behrman and Rockström’s follow-up to underworld crime thriller “Before We Die,” a big hit on SVT.“There is always a great desire for strong and engaging stories and ‘Caliphate’ also has a strong current connection to our time,” said Tomas Michaelsson, producer for Filmlance.
