Following its Netflix Greece release and set against the atmospheric landscapes of northern Greece, the gripping psychological thriller **SAVE ME** makes its **U.S. debut beginning Thursday, June 18 and U.K. debut beginning Monday, June 22**, with two episodes streaming weekly exclusively on Nordic and European-focused streaming service Viaplay. The eight-episode crime drama follows a missing-person investigation that soon spirals into the hunt for a serial killer. **SAVE ME** is based on the acclaimed novel by author **Dimitris Simos**, who also serves as head writer on the series. When Nikol (**Danai Skiadi**), a young woodcarver, returns to her hometown of Komotini for her father’s memorial, her younger sister mysteriously disappears soon after. As Nikol begins unraveling the disturbing circumstances surrounding the disappearance, she joins forces with a determined local detective (**Elena Mavridou**) whose own personal demons mirror the town’s deeply buried secrets. Together, they navigate a web of lies, trauma, and long-suppressed truths hidden beneath the surface of an outwardly quiet community. What begins as a desperate search for a missing woman quickly escalates into a chilling investigation into a possible serial killer, forcing both Nikol and the detective to confront guilt, corruption, and the dangerous consequences of uncovering the past. As the mystery deepens, **SAVE ME** reveals how darkness can thrive beneath even the most ordinary lives. (Crime Drama, 8 x 45 mins episodes, Greek with English subtitles) **Press releases and images at:** [US: European Streamer Viaplay U.S. Summer 2026 Preview](https://press.viaplaygroup.com/post/us-european-streamer-viaplay-u-s-summer-2026-preview-features-ex) [US: Viaplay US June 2026 - Save Me & Black Sands](https://press.viaplaygroup.com/post/us-viaplay-us-june-2026-save-me) [US: Viaplay US in May 2026 - Black Sands 2, S10, Keep It Together](https://press.viaplaygroup.com/post/us-viaplay-us-in-may-2026-black-sands-2-s10-keep-it-together-wel) [US: Nordic noir standout ‘Black Sands’ returns for final season on May 14 (screeners + interview opp)](https://press.viaplaygroup.com/post/us-nordic-noir-standout-black-sands-returns-for-final-season-scr) [Detective Hole Breakout Tobias Santelmann Has 4 More Must-Watch Series](https://press.viaplaygroup.com/post/detective-hole-breakout-tobias-santelmann-has-4-more-must-watch-) [After Norway’s Oscar Breakthrough: 6 Norwegian Series U.S. Audiences Shouldn’t Miss](https://press.viaplaygroup.com/post/after-norway-s-oscar-breakthrough-6-norwegian-series-u-s-audienc) [Best in International TV 2025](https://press.viaplaygroup.com/post/best-in-international-tv-2025) **About Viaplay:** Home of Premium European Drama The **Viaplay streaming service** features thousands of hours of premium Nordic and European series and films from Scandinavia's largest and most recognized television/streaming platform.
