SVT, Swedish Television, records drama about Somali genius. SVT is now betting big on a new crime drama - "The Detective from Beledweyne" - about a Somali genius. In May, filming will start for SVT's new drama series "The Detective from Beledweyne". "The focus is on a reckless former prosecutor relegated to a job at a refugee detention centre, and an asylum seeker from Somalia who turns out to be a police investigative genius," writes Film in West, which is producing the series alongside SVT and a german TV-station. Here's how the plot is described:
"When a young girl disappears near a refugee detention centre, the entire country's attention is focused on the small village of Karkebo. Inside the detention centre, the self-righteous and narrow-minded lawyer Tilda Renström realises that the unknown refugee she is about to deport has a razor-sharp eye for crime and clues. Tilda, recently fired from her job as a prosecutor, suddenly sees a chance to secretly present his thoughts as her own, thus regaining her self-esteem and perhaps even her job. The man is willing to help her, but he wants something in return."
Commenting on the production, Anna Croneman, Head of Drama at SVT, said: - There has been a lot of talk about the need for renewal in the crime genre. With two unlikely and absolutely wonderful main characters, The Beledweyne Detective is, more than anything else I've read, a brilliant example of renewal. Aron Levander impresses as the main author. It's exciting, it's funny, and it's original in the truest sense. I'm very much looking forward to seeing director Zaida Bergroth take on the material. The Detective from Beledweyne will be broadcast in six episodes, with each case spanning two episodes. The series is expected to start in spring 2023.
