Viaplay’s new six-part comedy drama Love Me (Älska mig) has begun filming in Stockholm, with Josephine Bornebusch (Welcome to Sweden) onboard as writer, director and star.

How can love change life? Through a story of friendship, grief and romance spanning three generations of Stockholmers, Love Me embraces one of humanity’s biggest questions in a way that’s sometimes touching, often comic and always irresistible.

The cast also includes Sverrir Gudnason (Borg McEnroe), Johan Ulveson (The Truth Will Out), Ia Langhammer (The Hunters), Gustav Lindh (Beck) and Görel Crona (Spring Tide).

Jakob Mejlhede Andersen, Head of Content for series producers NENT Group, said: “This comedy drama has the pacing, production values and psychological depth associated with the very best Nordic drama productions, but this time with more laughs… We’re convinced that viewers across the Nordic region will fall for Love Me.”

Love Me premieres on Viaplay across the Nordic region in autumn 2019.
