August 10 begins a new season of Saltön recorded on Skaftö in Bohuslän. The four new episodes to be shown next year and is based on Viveca Lärns latest book “Southern Road to Saltön”. Here are Blomgren, Kabben, Johanna and the other famous Salt islanders, but also seven, eight new characters.
– The theme is love and relationships. Everyone has or will have love problems, says producer Malin Söderlund on production Anagrams.
And the director Lena Koppel reveals another dramatic news.
The new season begins with swimsuit millionaire Philip O’Don open a luxury spa facility on the island to attract tourists even when it is not peak season. Some are happy and see the chance to get a job. Kabben, owner of the tavern Little Dog, on the other hand afraid of getting competitive. And it does not get better when the “Gothenburg’s richest man” in addition to open sea hotels on the island.
– viewers will get acquainted with the seven to eight new people, but it is basically all the old protagonists remain, says Peter Zell, project manager at SVT.
The script is written by Lena Koppel who directed last season Salton. She was asked already a year ago, but then the project was secret. And in April it became clear funding so the project could roll in again.
– I have never experienced such rapid jerking before. Moreover, it is a new story, new characters and new actors, says Lena Koppel will be directing also the new season.
Finds the own characters
Viveca Lärn has been all the way in script writing as a sounding board.
– It is a matter of knowing her tone, and be in Saltöns universe. I have written and then have Viveca been read and say she Boo or Ba. Sometimes, she said: “Lena that does not go, that’s not true!” Then I think about.
The scripts are a bunch of new characters that Lena received shape from the ground. She has also created custom characters that neither existed in the previous section or in Viveca Lärns latest book.
– We needed some younger people to cater to the younger crowd, so I found a young Norwegian artichoke starting work on Klabbens Pub. Then comes a little confused guy Salton and these two find each other and a love story starts to sprout, says Lena Koppel.
It’s just one of many love stories in the upcoming Saltö season.
– All four sections is basically just about relationships and love and misunderstandings.
How closely do you follow the book?
– We follow the book as much as the go. But books are not always the same dramaturgy as a television series, then you have to find other things for everything to be correct. We were of course also had to bring in some new characters. But I check in with Viveca all the time. It’s her characters and I must respect.
And the direct question if someone will die in the new sections she releases the news:
– Yes! And it will be dramatic! But I can not say who.
The script is now ready, the locations in Fiskebäckskil and Grundsund is clear. The only thing that is really clear is the contract with the new actors who should be involved.
New names released soon
– In two weeks, all names must be clear, promises Malin Söderlund, producer of the production company Anagram which makes the series for SVT’s behalf.
She does not want to drop a few names before everything is ready.
– We are about to sign a contract right now. We have great name suggestions and actor who is interested, but everyone has other tasks in parallel so it is complicated to put together the puzzle.
How will the new sections affected by Carin Mannheimer is not in production?
– They are of course different as writers. When Lena Koppel directed the last season, it was with Carin’s basic script. She made Carin Saltön. But now Viveca Lärn with the process in place. We also reconciled with Viveca the actress we thought of the new roles because we do not know where the characters should go in the next book.
And Peter Zell SVT do not think viewers will notice little difference between the different seasons.
– It is clear that Carin Mannheimer has been influential and very important, but Lena Koppel has worked with her both written and directed work earlier. In addition, the show’s tone is already set, says Peter Zell.
For him it was not a difficult choice to say yes to a new season of Saltön.
– The series is incredibly important for Swedish Television and very loved by the audience. Here are both the people they can identify with and very down to earth stories of love and little violence.
Film i Vast decided
The recording co-produced by SVT and Film i Vast, which Malin Söderlund the production company is very happy.
– without film in the West, we had not been able to row together on this project. They were last season, too. There is no one else in Sweden that can cover so much. They are very important for the project.
Michael Fellenius, Planning Manager at the Film of the West, is also satisfied.
– We are investing 2.3 million on the set of Saltön. We see it as a small initiative that gives a lot back. In addition, a series on the West Coast and provides employment to production team from here it is good for Western Sweden.
