Sram (English: Shame) is an upcoming Croatian teen drama television series, a Croatian remake of the Norwegian series Skam. It is set to premiere in Fall 2024 on HRT 1.

Sram is set to become the eighth international adaptation of Skam, following French, German, Italian, American, Spanish, Dutch and Belgian adaptations.

Production

The series was first confirmed on 9 April 2024 in an article by Variety.[1] Sram is produced by CGM Films, the company that previously produced another Croatian-English teen drama The Outsiders, which aired on YouTube in 2022.[2]

The series is directed by Jelena Gavrilović and written by Hana Jušić and Nikica Zdunić.[3] The producers of the show are Bruno Mustić and Ivan Lovreček. According to Lovreček, Sram was created so that "Croatian teenagers finally get a show of their own," criticizing the lack of local television content aimed at younger audiences.[4]

A casting call for actors aged 15 to 19 was posted by CGM Films via their social media profiles on 26 March 2024.[5] The Variety article from 9 April also confirmed the series will feature a character from the Roma community.

In April 2024, it was announced that the filming of the series would take place in the Croatian capital city Zagreb.[6]
