Today, the the first pictures of Life on the Seacrow Island (Swedish title: Vi på Saltkråkan), produced by SF Studios, were released. The series will be released in Sweden on SVT and SVT Play in 2025.
Life on Seacrow Island is a series about the children of two very different families; one from the rural archipelago and one from the bustling city. Their lives are intertwined on the island during a long and memorable summer. The story is seen mainly from the children’s perspective where their clear, unobtrusive gaze rules the world and leads to imaginative and dramatic adventures.
The new Life on Seacrow Island is an entertaining feelgood story about togetherness and the adventures of summer. It is a humor filled series, but with an existential depth that comes with portraying genuine human beings. The series is largely built from the original series by Astrid Lindgren with her timeless and universal themes, and which has been one of the most popular Swedish series of all time.
Life on Seacrow Island is written by the acclaimed scriptwriter Karin Arrhenius (Blackwater) and directed by Fredrik Edfeldt (The Girl). The ensemble portraying the iconic characters consists of actors such as Henrik Norlén (Tsunami), Nora Rios (Caliphate), Göran Gillinger (First Responders), Philip Zandén (438 days), Anna Bjelkerud (The Giant), Johan Marenius Nordahl (The Hunters) and Karin de Frumerie (Tsunami), with the children being played by Vega Åhman, Elton Larsson, Lovisa Lindblad, Lisa Varger, Ingrid Andersson Curman, Sami Fagerström Erfan and Bertil Mancini.
Life on Seacrow Island is produced by SF Studios with producers Brita Lundqvist and Jon Nohrstedt in co-production with SVT, Film Stockholm and The Astrid Lindgren Company. Beta Film’s boutique label Kids & Family handles international sales. The series will be released in Sweden on SVT and SVT Play in 2025.
