Netflix’s Swedish crime thriller series ‘Deliver Me‘ is a journey into the dark underbelly of a community grappling with teenage violence and its devastating impact. Based on the novel of the same name by Malin Persson Giolito, the series explores the fine line between childhood friendship and the descent into criminality.
Premiering on April 24, 2024, ‘Deliver Me‘ opens with a chilling scene: a 14-year-old boy lies dead, a gunshot wound to his head, while his best friend stands behind him, gun still trembling in his hand. This powerful image sets the tone for a thought-provoking exploration of responsibility and the failure of a society to protect its most vulnerable members.
The series is directed by Anna Zackrisson and features a blend of new talent and established actors, including Ardalan Esmaili as local police officer Farid, Yusra Warsama as Leila, and Mahmut Savakci as Sudden. The talented Ane Dahl Torp and Henrik Norlén portray the parents of one of the boys, Jill and Teo.
Zackrisson shared her enthusiasm for the project: “It’s a dynamic mix of new talent and experienced actors. We just started filming two weeks ago and I’m wildly impressed by all of them. They are powerful and fearless in depicting this vulnerable story. I’m excited to be embarking on this journey with them.”
‘Deliver Me’ is produced by Stockholm-based production studio Asp Varhos, with Sofia Lindberg, Frida Asp, and Fatima Varhos serving as producers. The series is written by head writer Alex Haridi and Amanda Högberg.
