TROM
After receiving a mysterious message from a local activist, claiming that she is his daughter and that her life is in danger, journalist Hannis Martinsson returns home to the Faroes, only for her dead body to surface amid a local whale hunt. His search for answers soon brings him into conflict with the local police and uncovers a web of secrets in the close-knit community – but how far is he willing to go to learn the truth?
Set in the stunning landscapes of the Faroe Islands, TROM stars Ulrich Thomsen (The New Pope, 2020; The Marco Effect, 2020), Maria Rich (Follow The Money, 2018) and Olaf Johannesen (The Exception, 2020; The Bridge, 2015) in the lead. TROM is created by Torfinnur Jákupsson and co-written by Donna Sharpe (West of Liberty, 2019) and is based on the bestselling novels by award-winning Faroese author Jógvan Isaksen. The series is directed by Kasper Barfoed (Dicte: Crime Reporter, 2014) and Davíd Óskar Ólafsson (The Valhalla Murders, 2020).
