New Swedish-language adaptation sees Kurt Wallander’s life unravelling. Newly separated after two decades of marriage and estranged from his daughter, he’s a man on the edge. Wallander drinks too much, sleeps too little, and carries the weight of every unsolved case. He is pushed to the limits as he confronts high-stakes cases, and this new adaptation goes deeper than ever before, taking the audience under the skin of this intriguing character, with a raw portrayal of a modern man navigating personal collapse, while attempting to uphold his detective work.

The first season has been adapted from three of the most successful books of the series: One Step Behind, Sidetracked and Faceless Killers. The series is directed by Molly Hartleb (Riding In Darkness, Top Dog) and the duo behind the highly-anticipated Egghead Republic, Pella Kågerman & Hugo Lilja. The scripts are written by Antonia Pyk, Josefin Johansson and Jörgen Bergmark, respectively, and the films will be produced by Glenn Lund for Jarowskij/Yellow Bird in partnership with TV4, Banijay Rights, Film i Skåne and Ystad Österlen Filmfond.
