Netflix has set the premiere date for the new mystery-crime thriller series, The Reserve, from Denmark.
The Reserve (Reservatet) is a six-part limited series that stars Marie Bach Hansen (The Legacy, White Sands), Danica Curcic (The Chestnut Man, Equinox), Simon Sears (Darkness: Thos Who Kill, Ride Upon the Storm), Lars Ranthe (Seaside Hotel, Dicte), Sara Fanta Traore (The Nurse, Baby Fever), and newcomers Excel Busano, Donna Levkovski, Lukas Zuperka, and Frode Bilde Rønsholt.
The story revolves around the disappearance of Ruby, a young Filipino au pair, from one of Denmark’s most affluent neighborhoods north of Copenhagen. Cecilie (Marie Bach Hansen), a neighbor, becomes convinced that something has happened to her, and Cecilie’s au pair, Angel (Excel Busano), begins to investigate the rumors that are circulating while suspicions of a crime grow.
However, the case of the missing foreigner is a low priority for the police, so Aicha (Sara Fanta Traore), a newly-minted investigator, needs all the assistance she can get. Cecilie and Angel are ready to help, and gradually the power structures and privileges within the beautiful homes start to be exposed. Regardless, Cecilie is committed to uncovering the truth, which is put to the test when Ruby’s disappearance reveals connections to Cecilie’s own family — forcing her to confront her blind spots and view her family and the environment in which she is raising her children in a whole new light.
The Reserve, a Netflix Series, premieres globally on Thursday, May 15, exclusively on Netflix. (You can set a reminder for it now.)
A production of Uma Film, the series is created by Ingeborg Topsøe (Hanna, The Charmer), directed by Per Fly (Borgen, Follow the Money), written by Ingeborg Topsøe, Ina Bruhn (Darkness: Those Who Kill, Occupied), and Mads Tafdrup (Speak No Evil, Yes No Maybe), and produced by Claudia Saginario (Cry Wolf).
