Netflix announced today the global premiere date for A Nearly Normal Family, a new crime thriller series from Sweden.
A Nearly Normal Family (En helt vanlig familj) is based on Mattias Edvardsson’s best-selling novel of the same name, which was lauded by the New York Times Book Review as a “page-turner” and by Booklist as an “intense legal thriller.” Originally published in Sweden, it has sold 550 000 copies across 35 territories worldwide.
The six-part crime thriller series stars Alexandra Karlsson Tyrefors (in her acting debut) as 19-year-old Stella; Lo Kauppi (Modus, Real Humans) as Ulrika Sandell, Stella’s mother; and Björn Bengtsson (The Last Kingdom, Thicker than Water) as Adam Sandell, Stella’s father.
In A Nearly Normal Family, the Sandells are a normal family, consisting of pastor Adam, lawyer Ulrika, and their daughter, Stella. They live a seemingly perfect life in a polished residential suburb outside of Lund. But one day, everything changes when Stella ends up in custody, accused of murder. Her devastated parents don’t know what to do. What happened? They want to help Stella at any cost, but do they really know their daughter? Or each other?
A Nearly Normal Family premieres globally on Friday, November 24, exclusively on Netflix. (You can set a reminder for it now on the show’s page at www.netflix.com/anearlynormalfamily.)
Additional cast members include Christian Fandango Sundgren (Thunder in My Heart), Melisa Ferhatovic (Thin Blue Line), and Håkan Bengtsson (The Hunt for a Killer).
A production of Jarowskij, the series is directed by Per Hanefjord (Agent Hamilton, Rig 45), written by Anna Platt (The Truth Will Out, The Congregation) and Hans Jörnlind (The Truth Will Out, Top Dog), and produced by Anna Sofia Mörck (We Got This).
