“It is amazing that so many people around the world have discovered The Are Murders and appreciate the series! We have been working on the adaptation in various stages since 2022 here at SF Studios, and the journey has involved collaborations with so many fantastic creatives, team members and collaboraters who have all invested their time and dedication in the series. I believe that together we have managed to create a universe and a flavour that appeal to a wide range of people”, says Brita H. Lundqvist, Producer, SF Studios

The series is based on Viveca Sten’s best-selling novels "Hidden in Snow" and "Hidden in the Shadows" and follows police officer Hanna Ahlander who 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 (Kardo Razzazi) reluctantly has to accept Hanna's help. But the big question is whether they can trust each other.

"It is absolutely incredible that The Åre Murders topped the charts worldwide after just one day. The exceptional response to the series makes me both proud and happy. Thanks to a fantastic production and brilliant actors. This became a success I never dreamed of, says Viveca Sten.

The Are Murders is directed by Joakim Eliasson and Alain Darborg, with screenplay by Karin Gidfors and Jimmy Lindgren. Brita H. Lundqvist has produced the series for SF Studios with Susann Billberg and Viveca Sten serving as executive producers.

SF Studios has previously produced many films and series for Netflix including the Swedish series Snabba Cash, the Danish drama Ehrengard, and thriller Loving Adults.
