Netflix Unveils Nordic Originals, Including ‘Home for Christmas’ Season 3; Danish Fertility Dramedy ‘Sult;’ Swedish Crime Series ‘Synden’
variety.comElsa Keslassy International Correspondent Netflix has unveiled three new Nordic originals as part of its 2025 slate, including the Swedish crime series “Synden,” the Danish fertility dramedy “Sult,” and season 3 of Norwegian romantic comedy series “Home for Christmas,” confirming its ambition to keep investing in Scandinavian content.
The Nordic market has gone through a rough patch in the last few years after the fallout of negotiations between the Danish producers guild and streamers; and the major restructuring at Viaplay which has put the brakes on local originals and is now partly owned by France’s Canal+.
All three Nordic originals greenlighted by Netflix are backed by renowned creatives and producers. “Synden” is written and directed by Peter Grönlund whose credits include “Goliat” and “Beartown.” The series follows the perpetually angry, odd but highly intelligent investigator Dani (Krista Kosonen) who is teamed up with newly graduated police colleague Malik (Mohammed Nour Oklah) to investigate the murder of a teenager found dead at a farmhouse on the Bjäre peninsula.
The investigation propels Dani and Malik at the center of a dark family feud that has been going on for generations and revolves around Patriarch Elis (Peter Gantman).
