The new Swedish Netflix crime series Glaskupan will soon begin shooting in Älvdalen. The series is developed by best-selling author Camilla Läckberg and will be directed by Lisa Farzaneh and Henrik Björn. Lisa Linnertorp, Amanda Högberg and Axel Stjärne are the series’ writers.

Behaviorist and criminologist Lejla returns to a small depopulated community somewhere in Sweden. She has dual feelings about the place. Somewhere in this village, she was held captive by an unknown perpetrator as a young girl. But it is also the place where she finally found a home, with the now retired police chief Valter. When Lejla returns, it doesn’t take long before a girl disappears. As Valter and Lejla dig into the disappearance, she is also forced to face her own darkness – a place she has long tried to keep closed. It seems that the whole village holds secrets. Could it be history repeating itself?
