Viaplay July 2026 Schedule

SPOTLIGHT: PERIOD DRAMA/THRILLER

The Activists (Aktivistit) – Period Drama/Thriller Series Based on Real Events
U.S. Debut: Thurs., July 16

A gripping political period thriller that dramatizes the events leading up to the assassination of Russian Governor-General Nikolai Bobrikov in 1904 – Finland’s first political assassination.

This sumptuously made miniseries is set against the turbulent backdrop of early 20th-century Finland, as the country dreams of independence from Tsarist Russia. It follows three intertwining stories of young revolutionaries caught in a whirlwind of violence, ideological fervor and personal sacrifice.

From 1899 to 1906, the series captures a nation on the brink of transformation – where deep social divisions, radical movements, and political intrigue collide. With a modern, fast-paced narrative style, it explores the emotional and psychological toll of activism, the complexities of resistance and the human cost of fighting for freedom.

This bold and radical portrayal of historical events offers a fresh lens on Finland’s path to sovereignty, with powerful storytelling rooted in real political upheaval.

(3 x 58 mins episodes, Swedish, Finnish and Russian with English subtitles)

SPOTLIGHT: TIMELY FAMILY DRAMA

Home in You (Halva Halva) – Compelling and Timely Family Drama
U.S. Debut: Thurs., July 30
Starring Isa Aouifia (Taelgia, Ronja, the Robber’s Daughter) and co-creator/co-writer/co-director Alexander Abdallah (Paradis City, Thunder in My Heart, Snabba Cash)

The Haddad family are in crisis, settled in their home in the Stockholm suburb of Smedsby – when their landlord decides to renovate the apartments, they find themselves on the verge of eviction, which threatens to split an already divided family.

As gentrification pushes them out, the family scramble to find a new place to live during an idyllic Swedish summer. They not only clash with each other, but they must battle with their surroundings too, as the Lebanese immigrant parents strive to understand their more assimilated children, who grapple with the challenges of adolescence and dual identities. Amidst this turmoil, they embark on a journey of self-discovery, seeking not only a new home in Sweden but also to find a sense of belonging within their own family unit.

Driven by the unique perspective of its creators, who pour their history into the story, Home in You is a series that sheds light on societal problems surrounding immigration and gentrification, delicately balancing serious topics with humor and warmth.

(6 x 32 mins episodes, Swedish and Arabic with English subtitles)

SPOTLIGHT: COMPLETE BOX SET / BINGE

Save Me – A modern Greek crime noir thriller seen on Netflix Greece
U.S. Debut of Complete Series: Thursday, July 9

Set in the atmospheric landscapes of northern Greece, this gripping psychological thriller follows Nikol (Danai Skiadi), a young woodcarver who returns to her hometown in Komotini for her father’s memorial—and shortly thereafter her younger sister mysteriously vanishes. As she begins to unravel the unsettling circumstances surrounding the disappearance, Nikol teams up with a determined local detective (Elena Mavridou) whose own demons mirror the town’s buried secrets. Together they navigate a web of lies, trauma, and long-suppressed truths hidden beneath the surface of an outwardly quiet community.

What begins as a missing-persons search quickly spirals into a tense hunt for a serial killer, forcing both Nikol and the detective to confront guilt, corruption, and the dangerous consequences of uncovering the past. As time runs out, the investigation exposes just how far people will go to protect their own—and how darkness can thrive in the most ordinary places.

Based on the popular novel of the same name by author Dimitris Simos, who is also the head writer for the TV series.

(8 x 45 mins episodes, Greek with English subtitles)
