When a mass shooting takes place at a prep school in Stockholm\u2019s wealthiest suburb, a normal high school student, Maja Norberg, finds herself on trial for murder. When the events of that tragic day are revealed, so too are the private details about her relationship with Sebastian Fagerman and his dysfunctional family.<\/p>\n<p>Netflix is partnering with award-winning production company FLX (<em>Bonusfamiljen<\/em>\/<em>The Bonus Family<\/em> and <em>The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared<\/em>) to bring its first Swedish original series to members globally.<\/p>\n<p>Edgren said: \u201cMalin Persson Giolito\u2019s novel <em>St\u00f6rst av Allt<\/em> (<em>Quicksand<\/em>) is an original, fresh and suspenseful drama that we believe will make a fantastic Netflix series. We asked one of Scandinavia\u2019s most respected writers, Camilla Ahlgren, to work with us and she was equally thrilled. We&#8217;re very excited to be collaborating with Netflix to make <em>St\u00f6rst av Allt<\/em> (<em>Quicksand<\/em>) the very first Swedish Netflix original.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Persson Giolito added: \u201cWe have taken our time to build a team that we can trust to create a great adaptation. I\u2019ve subscribed to Netflix since the second week it was possible to do so in Sweden, so it\u2019s incredibly exciting that <em>St\u00f6rst av Allt<\/em> (<em>Quicksand<\/em>) is becoming a Netflix original series.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Ahlgren added: \u201dIt is both a great honor and challenge to work with FLX and Netflix on <em>St\u00f6rst av Allt<\/em> (<em>Quicksand<\/em>). I want to tell this story from the main character Maja\u2019s perspective; her story raises questions about guilt, responsibility, punishment and redemption. It holds a mirror up to our time whilst also serving as both a suspenseful thriller and a moving love story.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSweden has a tradition of great crime literature and series and we\u2019ve been looking for something special in this area. We are excited to bring Malin\u2019s great novel to life and to work with Camilla, one of the best TV writers globally, \u201d said Erik Barmack, the VP of international original series at Netflix. \u201cWe are delighted also to partner with Pontus and the FLX team and believe that Netflix will be the perfect global platform to showcase their talents and continue the canon of great Nordic storytelling.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Netflix is working with Camilla Ahlgren, head writer from the hit series The Bridge, on its first Swedish original series, Quicksand (St\u00f6rst av Allt).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[88,2095],"class_list":["post-8218","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","","category-top-stories","tag-netflix","tag-quicksand","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
