Are you a fan of Nordic crime dramas? Then you’ve probably already binged The Åre Murders, Netflix’s Swedish series about a detective who gets entrenched in intriguing investigations.
With a suffocating tone and dedicated performances, it quickly drew in viewers who prefer their entertainment with a side of murder.
The bad news is that the show consists of only five episodes, so you can breeze through it during a lazy weekend afternoon. If you’re clamoring for more, you’ll likely have to wait a while.
The Åre Murders Season 2 Release Date
The Åre Murders premiered in early February 2025 and made it to the Netflix Top 10 in multiple countries, including the US and UK.
At the time of writing, there’s no news about a potential season 2 – but a solid viewership can definitely translate to more episodes.
As long as that happens, fans of the show can gear up for The Åre Murders season 2 to arrive sometime in early 2026. We’re guessing it will debut during winter. The snowy views can match the weather outside.

What Will Happen in The Åre Murders Season 2?
The series revolves around Hanna Ahlander, a detective going through a difficult time who moves from Stockholm to her sister’s vacation home in Åre.
Once there, she becomes involved with a case about a missing woman and works with a local police officer reluctant to accept her help.
There’s also a second case as the series progresses, but we don’t want to spoil anything for those who haven’t tuned in yet. As a whole, the show explores themes like trust, evil, and small-town secrets.
The Åre Murders Season 2 will likely continue in that vein, allowing Hanna to investigate more crimes. The end of season 1 saw her even more tormented than at the start of the show, so it will be interesting to track the character’s evolution.
Is The Åre Murders Based on a Book?
Yes, The Åre Murders is based on the novel series of the same name by Viveca Sten. Season 1 covers the first two novels, Hidden in Snow and Hidden in Shadows. Those have also been translated into English.
Overall, the series consists of five books so far. In other words, there should be enough source material for a potential season 2.
