Global content creator, produce and distributor Endemol Shine Group today announces the latest dramas produced by award-winning Swedish production company Filmlance.

Psycologically tense mini-series Tsunami will air on SVT and set in Stockholm, the three part series follows intense days just after a tsunami. This gripping drama explores how humans behave in a catastrophe and centres on a Tomas who is a suspect fraud and goes missing in a tsunami in Thailand. Tsunami is based on an original idea by scriptwriter Sara Kadefors and is directed by Henrik Georgsson.

Tsunami follows the successful launch of Caliphate, also on SVT. Centring on five young women, whose fate is intertwined in an examination of how religious fundamentalism can seduce individuals and destroy lives, Caliphate was initially conceived by Wilhelm Behrman, who together with Niklas Rockström has created the series. The duo are also behind the acclaimed drama Before We Die. Filmed in Stockholm and Jordan and directed by award-winning Director Goran Kapetanovic, Caliphate premiered on SVT in January and all episodes have been topping SVT’s VOD platform.

Caliphate is distributed by Endemol Shine International and Tsunami by Trust Nordisk.
