Stefan Ahnhem’s standalone thriller novel Nothing But the Truth has been adapted into a four-part series by producers Asp Varhos, to globally premiere on Netflix in 2026.

Set against the stunning backdrops of Stockholm’s archipelago and sun-drenched Sicily, Stockholm-based Carl (Fares) and Helene (Gustavsson) arrange a holiday-house swap with Adam (Oftebro) and Scarlett (Appleton), who live in Sicily, in an effort to save their marriages. But upon arriving at their new exclusive home, Carl and Helene start to sense that something feels off. The house doesn’t quite match the pictures of the romantic villa, and unsettling questions arise about the strangers now living in their home. Who are these people they’ve traded homes with? Meanwhile, Adam and Scarlett move into Carl and Helene’s house in Stockholm’s archipelago, a stunning, modern architectural dream. But despite its beauty, things feel awkward. Why are the neighbors so nosy? Why is the walk-in closet locked? As both couples try to reconnect amidst growing suspicions, dark secrets begin to surface.
