Twenty years later, the boy\u2019s older sister is leading a group therapy session when a young man describes a childhood memory of a disappearance\u2014leading her to travel home to her family to find out what really happened.<\/p>\n<p><em>End of Summer<\/em> will premiere exclusively as a Viaplay original in 2023. Bj\u00f6rn Carlstr\u00f6m (<em>J\u00e4garna<\/em>) and Stefan Thunberg (<em>Wallander<\/em>) are the head writers for the series, which is directed by Jens Jonsson (<em>Young Wallander<\/em>) and Henrik Georgsson (<em>The Bridge<\/em>) and produced by Harmonica Films, with SF Studios and Film i Sk\u00e5ne as co-producers. Worldwide sales are handled by Viaplay Content Distribution.<\/p>\n<p>De la Motte said: \u201cIt\u2019s incredibly exciting that <em>End of Summer<\/em> will become a TV series. I\u2019ve worked on this with Harmonica Films for a long time, and with Viaplay, we\u2019ve now made it happen.<em> End of Summer<\/em> is my first book to be filmed, and for personal reasons, the story is very close to my heart. I\u2019ve read the script and seen the cast list, and I\u2019m very confident that this will be something really special.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Filippa Wallestam, Viaplay Group\u2019s chief content officer, said: \u201cAnders de la Motte\u2019s novels have thrilled readers in more than 30 countries\u2014and his compelling blend of suspense, psychology and character development will translate beautifully to the screen. The talents on both sides of the camera for this project are exceptional.
