The Åre Murders: What to expect
The Åre Murders is a Scandinavian crime drama that follows Hanna Ahlander, as she tries to adjust to her new circumstances in Åre. She becomes involved in the case of a missing young woman who vanishes on the night of Lucia.
With the local police force stretched thin, Officer Daniel Lindskog reluctantly teams up with Hanna to investigate. As they navigate personal and professional challenges, trust between them becomes a key question.
As Hanna and Daniel search for answers, a severe blizzard intensifies the urgency of their mission. With few leads apart from a scarf in the snow, the case becomes more complex, revealing something far more dangerous than they had anticipated.
Beyond its crime narrative, the series explores resilience, trust, and the emotional toll of uncertainty. Åre’s harsh but visually striking landscape adds to the unfolding story. SF Studios, the production company behind the adaptation, aimed to retain the core of Sten’s novels while translating their suspense and character-driven storytelling to television.
More about The Åre Murders
The synopsis for the series on IMDb reads:
"A Stockholm detective under internal investigation heads to a ski resort to unwind, until a young girl's disappearance compels her back to work."
The Åre Murders was primarily filmed in Åre, Sweden, aligning with the setting of Viveca Sten’s novels. The production team used the natural surroundings of the ski resort town to create an authentic and visually striking backdrop for the series.
Key locations featured in the show include Åre’s ski slopes, local hotels and chalets, and the town centre. Some scenes were also filmed in Stockholm to provide context for Hanna Ahlander’s background.
Filming in winter presented challenges, requiring specialized equipment to capture Åre’s landscape.
