Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Creator Søren Sveistrup also created The Killing (Forbrydelsen), making this essentially Danish noir royalty. Sofie Gråbøl's casting as the compromised politician deliberately echoes her iconic Sarah Lund role.
The chestnut man is a real Danish folk craft tradition — the show weaponizes childhood nostalgia into something genuinely unsettling for Scandinavian audiences who grew up making these figures.
