The latest screenplay written by master Ingmar Bergman (1918-2007) will be transformed into a six-episode miniseries by Swedish channel STV.
Announced this Monday (4/7), the project is an adaptation of the film “Infidel”, written by Berman and directed by Liv Ullmann in the year 2000.
The adaptation will be a co-production with Danish studio Miso Film (which made the series “The Rain” on Newtflix) and will be directed by director Tomas Alfredson (“The Spy Who Knew Too Much”).
“The time has finally come to make a television series of Ingmar Bergman’s shocking drama,” Alfredson said in the project statement.
The original plot explores the relationship between love and burning passion, through a love triangle that brings painful consequences for the protagonist, who becomes romantically involved with a friend of her husband.
The story is loosely based on the adultery experiences of the award-winning Swedish director and was adapted by Sara Johnsen (writer of the dystopian series “Occupied”).
“Unfaithful” will be the second consecutive miniseries based on a screenplay by Bergman, after HBO released “Scenes from a Wedding” last year.
