Netflix has ordered Love & Anarchy, a new Scandinavian original series from producer FLX and writer/ director Lisa Langseth (Euphoria, Pure (2019).
In the comic drama series, Ida Engvoll (The Restaurant) portrays the role of Sofie, a career-driven consultant and married mother of two children. When Sofie receives an assignment to modernize an old publishing house, she meets the young IT technician Max (Björn Mosten) and starts a flirtatious game in which the two secretly challenge each other to do things that do not meet social standards. What starts innocently quickly becomes serious as the challenges, and therefore the consequences, get bigger.
“I hope Love & Anarchy becomes cheeky, funny and will give a new perspective on our society,” said Engvoll. “To me, the story is a paradox taking place within and around my character Sofie in a society that isn’t fully embracing the human being ... Love is one of my greatest interests and combined with anarchy this is my dream role!”
Production on Love & Anarchy have since started in Stockholm. FLX previously made the crime series
Quicksand, which proved to be a success at Netflix. Love & Anarchy will be available worldwide exclusively on Netflix later this year.
