Viaplay is set to debut Camilla Läckberg's "The Beach Hotel." The series will premiere exclusively on Viaplay in 2023.“Soap opera is an incredible genre that viewers really connect with," Läckberg said. "I’m so happy to make this show with Viaplay and take viewers to such a beautiful location. But as every soap-fan knows, there’s often something lurking behind an idyll. It’s time for audiences to sink their teeth into a new soap with exciting new characters and intrigues.”
"The Beach Hotel" is created by Camilla Läckberg and the lead writers are Lovisa Löwhagen and Jakob Vasell, both of whom worked on ‘Hammarvik’. The series is executive produced by Kristoffer Graci and Lotta Dolk at Creative Society Production and Viaplay Group respectively. Filming for the project starts today in the idyllic Swedish coastal town of Varberg.

As with ‘Hammarvik’, ‘The Beach Hotel’ will be unmissable entertainment that will attract a broad audience to Viaplay, including viewers coming to streaming for the first time.”
