About the series

What it’s about

A sleeplessness outbreak spreads through Stockholm. Prime Minister Christian tries to manage the crisis while shielding his son, nurse Elin fights to save her infected partner, and teenager Saga looks after a neighbour as the condition worsens.

What hooks you

Henrik Georgsson directs a cast led by Jonas Karlsson as Christian, Aliette Opheim as Elin, and Gizem Erdoğan as Saga. The series is a Swedish–Icelandic–US co-production with a holiday tag, suggesting a thriller set against a festive backdrop.

Who it’s for

It is worth a look for anyone who enjoys tense urban thrillers where personal loyalties collide with public duty, and for viewers drawn to Nordic settings and stories of ordinary people under extraordinary pressure.
