Netflix has announced The Case , a new Swedish crime series from acclaimed creator and writer George Kay, known for his work on hit shows like Lupin (which just wrapped its fourth season ), Hijack , and The Long Shadow . The five-episode series recently wrapped production in Stockholm and is set to launch globally on Netflix in 2026.
Directed by Kristoffer Nyholm ( The Vanishing ), The Case follows clean-cut Lead Investigator Thomas Berg ( Jakob Oftebro ) as he hunts a serial killer targeting his fellow police officers. In a desperate move, Thomas turns to his estranged father, Alfred ( Peter Andersson ), a once-respected but now out-of-favor ex-detective. They must put aside their difficult history to have any chance of catching one of Sweden’s most notorious killers.
