Netflix Unveils Swedish Thriller Based on Bestselling Novels with 10+ Million Copies Sold

Frozen Secrets Uncovered

Netflix is delving further into the realm of Swedish crime thrillers with The Åre Murders, a gripping six-episode series inspired by Viveca Sten’s internationally acclaimed novels Hidden in Snow and Hidden in the Shadows. Part of The Åre Murders book series, these chilling stories have enthralled readers across 40 countries, amassing over 10 million copies sold worldwide.

Building on the momentum of The Breakthrough, which quickly climbed into Netflix’s Top 10 after its January debut, this latest adaptation cements the streaming giant’s commitment to delivering compelling Nordic noir dramas packed with suspense, intrigue, and atmospheric storytelling.

A Chilling Mystery in a Frozen Landscape

In the icy wilderness of Åre, suspended Stockholm officer Hanna Ahlander (Carla Sehn) seeks refuge at her sister’s remote cabin after a painful breakup. But when a young woman vanishes on Lucia night, Hanna is pulled into the investigation alongside local cop Daniel Lindskog.

With the police force stretched thin and dark secrets lurking beneath the snow, their search grows more dangerous. In a town where trust is fragile and time is slipping away, can they uncover the truth before it’s too late?

A Dream Come True for Author Viveca Sten

For Sten, seeing her novels brought to life on screen is a thrilling milestone. “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!” she says. As both the author and an executive producer, she hopes the adaptation will be as successful as her books, which have captivated readers both in Sweden and internationally.

A Must-Watch for Nordic Noir Fans

With a talented cast that includes Kardo Razzazi, Charlie Gustafsson, Agnes Kittelsen, and Moa Gammel, The Åre Murders promises to be a must-watch for thriller enthusiasts. And if you haven’t yet checked out The Breakthrough, another gripping Nordic mystery inspired by a real-life double murder case solved through genetic genealogy, it’s well worth adding to your watchlist.

Netflix’s growing collection of Scandinavian crime dramas is proving once again that dark, atmospheric storytelling knows no borders.
