Netflix released today the trailer for The Åre Murders, a brand-new Nordic Noir mystery thriller series from Sweden. Check it out.
The Åre Murders (Åremorden) is based on the books Hidden in Snow and Hidden in Shadows, the first two titles in Viveca Sten’s “The Åre Murders” crime novel series.
This is the third television series based on the best-selling Swedish author’s works, the first two being The Sandhamn Murders, the long-running, fan-favorite Scandi noir series from Sweden, and Zbrodnia, a two-season mystery series from Poland — both of which are based on Sten’s popular “Sandhamn Murders” novels.
The Åre Murders follows Hanna Ahlander (Carla Sehn, Love & Anarchy, Anxious People, The Sandhamn Murders), a detective in Stockholm who gets dumped by her partner as well as suspended from her job, as she is the subject of an internal police investigation. So, she takes off to her sister’s vacation home in a ski resort area in Åre to unwind from the stress.
When a young woman goes missing on the icy, frigid night of the annual Lucia celebration, Hanna can’t help but start delving into the case, despite her suspension from the police force. After giving local cop Daniel Lindskog (Kardo Razzazi, Top Dog, Alex, Peacemaker) some misleading details about herself, Hanna partners up with him on the investigation. For his part, a tough family situation and an understaffed police station give him cause to accept her help. The thing is, the mystery of the disappearance is one thing; whether Hanna and Daniel can trust each other is another.
The Åre Murders, a Netflix Series, premieres globally on Thursday, February 6, exclusively on Netflix. (You can set a reminder for it now.)
The main cast also includes Charlie Gustafsson (The Restaurant), Francisco Sobrado (Bäckström), Amalia Holm (Vikings: Valhalla), Frida Argento (Young Royals), Agnes Kittelsen (Exit), Jon Øigarden (Mammon), Robin Stegmar (Spring Tide), Olle Sarri (Snabba Cash), Samuel Astor (Young Royals), and Moa Gammel (Jordskott).
A production of SF Studios, the series is directed by Joakim Eliasson (Gåsmamman) and Alain Darborg (Alex), and written by Karin Gidfors (The Lawyer) and Jimmy Lindgren (Murder in Sweden). The producer is Brita H Lundqvist (Borg vs. McEnroe), and the executive producers are Tim King, Susann Billberg-Rydholm, and Viveca Sten.
