Alex Haridi's inspiration for the series came from unexpected election gains made by the far-right Swedish Democrats and from series such as The Wire (2002) and Homeland (2011).
The series was a ratings success, and attracted over 1 million viewers in Sweden.
Broadcast in Australia on SBS in 2017.
The series was available on demand from Channel 4 TV as part of its Walter Presents service and occupied the Friday 9pm slot on Channel 4's More 4 channel during April and May 2016.
Critics considered that the Security Party was too similar to the Swedish Democrats, leading to complaints to the broadcasting regulator.
