Anders de la Motte's TV series is finally being shown

Skyshowtime takes over "The End of Summer" from crisis-stricken Viaplay. Later this fall, the TV series will premiere. Finally. I get questions about this several times a week, says a happy and relieved Anders de la Motte, author of the book.

If the book is his child, the TV series is his grandchild, he explains with an expression he borrowed from his colleague and thriller author Viveca Sten. With "The End of Summer", Anders de la Motte returned to his original hometown near Söderåsen east of Helsingborg to write a thriller that differs from his previous ones.

It was actually an experiment, previously I have written much more high-tempo, says Anders de la Motte who let the story take place in the 1980s when he himself grew up.

Kidnapped Brother

The story is about Vera who many years later is confronted with her childhood's great trauma – her little brother was kidnapped and disappeared, five years old. But what really happened?

It's a family drama. The adult Vera starts wondering about this story that all adults so desperately cling to. Was it really as everyone said?

"The End of Summer" is also his first novel to become a TV series and Anders de la Motte was involved himself as executive producer. Everyone who is supposed to speak Scanian does so, he says. The recordings at a farm near his parents' became sometimes surreal.

I stepped into a room that was like a boy's room in the 1980s, for a brief moment I didn't know where I was.

Delayed Premiere

Now the series premieres – a year later than planned due to Viaplay's economic problems.

I have been waiting very eagerly, it's going to be so fun to show it off. It turned out so fine.
