Viaplay’s acclaimed ‘Those Who Kill’ returns for new season
- Natalie Madueño (‘The Rain’; ‘Follow the Money’) reprises lead role in hit Danish crime drama
- ‘Those Who Kill’ is one of Viaplay’s most viewed Originals
- Viaplay set to premiere at least 70 Originals in 2022
Viaplay will premiere a new season of its hugely successful Danish crime drama ‘Those Who Kill’ in early 2023. The series is one of the most viewed Viaplay Originals and Natalie Madueño (‘The Rain’; ‘Follow the Money’) will reprise her lead role as a psychological profiler forced to confront the darkest recesses of the human psyche. ‘Those Who Kill’ is produced by Miso Film.
When a middle-aged couple is brutally murdered, Louise Bergstein (Natalie Madueño) joins the police’s hunt for the killer, despite suffering from anxiety after her previous case. The investigation leads Louise to a desperate young man hiding a horrific secret – and to a reckoning with her own inner darkness.
Natalie Madueño: “Louise endured a traumatic experience in the previous season, and now she’s feeling the full effects. This time, we meet a much more vulnerable and human Louise who is forced to face up to her past – and to decide how she wants to live in the future.”
Filippa Wallestam, NENT Group Chief Content Officer: “Nordic noir has become a global screen phenomenon because of productions such as ‘Those Who Kill’. This is stylish, unnerving and completely compelling entertainment. I can guarantee the new season will take the show to yet another level, with a lead character whose complexity just keeps deepening and a shocking twist halfway through.”
The new season of ‘Those Who Kill’ (Danish title: ‘Den som dræber – fanget af mørket’) co-stars Simon Sears (‘Shadow and Bone’) and is filming in Copenhagen and Roskilde. Ina Bruhn returns as lead writer and the series is directed by Mads Kamp Thulstrup (‘Ragnarok’), with Peter Bose and Jonas Allen producing for Miso Film and Dorte Fuglsang as executive producer for Viaplay.
The eight-episode show is distributed internationally by Fremantle.
