According to the show's synopsis: "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."
The TV series boasts an impressive cast, including Carla Sehn, Kardo Razzazi, Charlie Gustafsson, Francisco Sobrado, and Amalia Holm.
Released on 6 February, it remains to be seen if The Åre Murders will dominate Netflix's most-watched chart, but all signs point to a thrilling success, reports Surrey Live.

Discussing the series, author Viveca expressed: "The Are 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."
The Åre Murders is available on Netflix now.
