THE HOMICIDE UNIT
In the south of Sweden, a teenage girl is murdered. The unit arrives to assist the local police. Precise and relentless, Ib leads the elite team: Ulf, her steady and experienced counterpart; Vincent, driven and quick to act; and Franka, newly recruited, perceptive and determined, finding her footing. With instinct and persistence, the team uncovers the truth. They take on new cases across Sweden, from an abduction in the icy north to an arson case in a southern coastal town, ending in the forest‑covered heart of the country, where Ib is forced to confront her past.
THE HOMICIDE UNIT is a gripping new crime drama from Warner Bros., offering an authentic look inside the world of high-stakes police investigations. Led by the steady and experienced Ib, the elite team assists local police with the country’s most complex murder cases – from the murder of a teenage girl in the south to an abduction in the icy north. Each investigation takes the team into new territory, while one case brings Ib unexpectedly close to home. The series stars the beloved actress Pernilla August (Star Wars: Episode I & II; The Best Intentions, 1992).
