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.

It is directed by Joakim Eliasson, known for his works, including Gåsmamman, and Alain Darborg, who is famous for Red Dot.

Production has been handed by the expertise of Brita H Lundqvist at SF Studios. They intend to convey the charm of Sten's novels in the series. A good amount of shooting was done in Åre, where beautiful ski slopes and the local architecture will be added to the film to make the story more real. The executive production team is composed of Tim King, Susann Billberg-Rydholm, and Viveca Sten.

Some of the scenes have been shot in Stockholm to help establish Hanna's past. The production team had to contend with winter conditions, but they were able to create a visually engaging experience that fit the themes of the series.
