What is The Åre Murders about?
This drama series is adapted from two of Viveca Sten's novels: Hidden in Snow and Hidden in the Shadows. In the series, the plot unfolds with Hanna Ahlander, dealing with her inner turmoil, who was sent to Åre to be under suspension. This woman then stumbled upon a case involving the mystery disappearance of one young woman there.
There exists an undermanned local police station, and reluctant officer Daniel Lindskog lets Hanna join the crime investigation. This also takes them deep into the dark secrets beneath a serene town's surface. The series would capture the true essence of Nordic noir in its atmospheric setting and complex moral characters.
The Åre Murders blends thriller elements with deep emotions for a fresh take on the genre. The makers emphasize authenticity in both character development and Åre’s stunning landscapes.
Cast and Production Details
The cast of The Åre Murders includes Carla Sehn as Hanna Ahlander and Kardo Razzazi as Daniel Lindskog. Sehn appeared in Love & Anarchy and Sjukt, while Razzazi was in The Abyss and Rheingold. Their interesting performances will, therefore, be enriching to the characters as they fight personal problems with the mystery unfolding.
