Based on the successful books Hidden Snow and Hidden in the Shadows by Swedish bestselling writer and lawyer Viveca Sten (author of The Sandhamn Murders series), whose novels have captivated readers in over 40 countries with more than 10 million copies sold worldwide, the much-anticipated new Netflix crime mystery series, The Åre Murders (Åremorden), will launch globally on the streaming platform on February 6, 2025.
Starring Carla Sehn (Love & Anarchy, Sjukt) and Kardo Razzazi (The Abyss, Rheingold), the series explores themes of resilience, trust, and human vulnerability as suspended police officer Hanna Ahlander finds herself drawn into a chilling missing-person case while staying at her sister’s vacation home in Åre.

“The Åre Murders means a lot to me and I’m very excited that it’s now time for the TV series to see the light of day on a leading streaming service like Netflix! Both as the author of the books and executive producer of the series, it’s hugely exciting to see the characters come to life through such talented actors. My dream, of course, is that the TV series will be just as popular and successful as the books have been both in Sweden and abroad.”
Viveca Sten, author
Synopsis
Police officer Hanna Ahlander has been suspended from her job in Stockholm and dumped by her partner when she moves to her sister’s vacation home in Åre. When a young woman goes missing on the icy night of Lucia, Hanna can’t help but start investigating the case. With a tough family situation and an understaffed police station, local police officer Daniel Lindskog reluctantly has to accept Hanna’s help. But the big question is whether they can trust each other.
