The director Peter Grönlund is making a new series for Netflix. "The Sin" is a crime series set in southern Sweden.

It's about a murder investigation connected to a feud among farmers in southern Sweden that has been going on for several generations, he says.

Peter Grönlund has achieved the greatest success with films like "Thieves" and "Goliath", which were set in disadvantaged areas. He also directed several episodes of the HBO series based on Fredrik Backman's novel "Beartown", which is set in an industrial town.

In "The Sin", he explores the same type of people.

It's the social group that says something about the state of the world today, about our time, he says.

Krista Kosonen, Mohammed Nour Oklah, and Peter Gantman have the leading roles, but Peter Grönlund says that, as in his previous films, he mixes amateurs with a few professional actors.

"The Sin" will premiere in 2025. Netflix has several other, already presented, major Swedish productions in the works. As early as November 22, the series "The Helicopter Robbery" will be released, based on the real robbery of a cash depot in Stockholm in 2009.

Later, among other things, the series "The Breakthrough" will also be released, about the Linköping murders that were solved with the help of DNA technology.

Further ahead, the film adaptation of Amanda Romare's novel "Half of Malmö Consists of Guys Who Have Dumped Me" and "The Shift", a series set in the 1950s and about Sweden's first female police officers, are waiting.

Corrected: In an earlier version of the text, there was an incorrect description of the premise of the series.
