STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN – Streaming giant Netflix is set to expand its crime genre offerings with ‘The Case,’ a new series from Lupin creator George Kay. Filming for the show has been wrapped in Stockholm, and it is slated to stream sometime next year.
Key Creative Team and Cast
George Kay serves as both the creator and writer for the series, which features a large ensemble cast. Key actors include Jakob Oftebro, Peter Andersson, Electra Hallman, and Alexander Abdallah. The production team includes Johannes Åhlund and Ulf Synnerholm as producers, with Kay, Nyholm, Willow Grylls, and Matt Sandford serving as executive producers.
Synopsis: A Killer Targeting Police
The series introduces a dark and compelling plot set against the backdrop of a Nordic summer, a stark contrast to the unfolding terror. The logline details the central conflict:
“As endless summer takes its hold over Stockholm, a different kind of darkness sets in. Clean cut, highly regarded lead investigator Thomas Berg has a serial killer on his hands.”
The synopsis reveals that the situation quickly escalates: “With the brutal murderer targeting his police colleagues, Thomas makes a desperate gamble, turning to a once well-regarded but now out of favor, misanthropic ex-detective for help. His estranged father, Alfred.”
The core challenge will be the strained relationship between the two investigators. “If they’re to stand any chance of protecting their fellow police officers, they must put their differences aside and find a way to work together. Only then will they catch one of the worst killers in Sweden’s history,” the synopsis concludes.
