Netflix Grows Nordic Slate Announcing New Content Launching in 2025

Netflix today unveiled a line-up of three new Nordic titles for 2025 at a press event held at the global streamer’s new Nordic office in Stockholm. Continuing their investment in the northern region, the line-up features the Danish feature film SULT by comedy duo Ditte Hansen & Louise Miertiz, the Swedish crime series Synden by Peter Grönlund (Goliath, Beartown), and the returning series Home for Christmas directed by Per-Olav Sørensen (The Playlist, Midsummer Night).

Additionally, Netflix announced the return of the Danish crime series The Chestnut Man (Kastanjemanden), with a second season in 2026, featuring acclaimed actress Sofie Grobøl.

SYNDEN

Created by Goliath and Beartown Director Peter Grönlund.

Synopsis

When teenager Silas is found dead at a farmhouse on the Bjäre peninsula – the perpetually angry, odd but highly intelligent investigator Dani (Krista Kosonen) is teamed up with newly graduated police colleague Malik (Mohammed Nour Oklah) to investigate the case. The investigation leads Dani and Malik into a patriarchal rat-hole on the Scanian countryside and they soon find themselves at the center of a dark family feud that has been going on for generations. Dani, who has a personal connection to the victim Silas, is drawn deep into the investigation and the families it centers around. The Patriarch Elis (Peter Gantman) gives Dani a deadline to solve the case before taking matters into his own hands within the family. Synden is a modern crime set in an uncertain world of conflict and violence where the original sin is constantly present.
