This Is Not Sweden[1] (Catalan; Valencian: '''Això no és Suècia'''|links=no) 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.[2]
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.[3]
The series is a Nanouk Films, Funicular Films, and Anagram Sweden production, co-produced by RTVE, TV3, and SVT, together with NRD and Yle.[2] 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.[4] The series premiered on SVT 1 in spring 2024.[5]
