Land of Sin (2026)
When a teenager goes missing, a detective with personal ties to the case joins a tense investigation that reveals fierce loyalties and old family feuds.
- Truck Driver to Star: Peter Gantman, who plays the stern patriarch Elis, was a truck driver before landing the role. He accompanied his son to an audition and ended up being cast himself. This was one of many first-time actors to make their debut in the show.
- Foggy Authenticity: The series was filmed in Skåne County, Sweden, with significant portions in Skurup. The crew embraced the area's natural fog, even filming wetland scenes where actors were knee-deep in water. They designed specialized body suits to withstand the cold and difficult terrain.
- Not Your Average Crime Show: According to creator Peter Grönlund, "Land of Sin" isn't a typical crime show. He aimed to portray a darker, more fragile world where shame, love, and violence share the same pulse.
- Malmö's Double Life: While the rural setting is key, the city of Malmö also features prominently. The contrast between Malmö's urban environment and the isolation of the countryside emphasizes the show's tension, suggesting that secrets exist even in familiar places.
- Bjäre Peninsula's Dark Secret: The series is set on the Bjäre Peninsula in Scania, a location chosen to highlight a patriarchal environment where open fields offer exposure rather than freedom. The area traps inhabitants in a cycle of violence, shame, and retributive justice.
