About the show

Caliphate (Swedish: Kalifat) is a Swedish thriller drama television series. It premiered on 12 January 2020 on Sveriges Television. It became the most-viewed series ever on SVT Play.

The story is based on the real-life case of the Bethnal Green trio, in which three British teenage girls from London left home to join ISIS in Syria in February 2015. The television adaptation chiefly follows the characters of Fatima, a Swedish Security Service agent; Pervin, a young Swedish woman lured to Syria; and Sulle, an opinionated teenager groomed by ISIS. The plot explores and revolves around themes such as Islamic extremism, terrorism, tensions within Islam and among Muslims, women's rights, and human rights. All eight episodes were directed by Goran Kapetanović.

Branded as a Netflix Original, Caliphate was released globally on Netflix on 18 March 2020, and removed from the service on 1 September 2025.
