On Christmas Day, December 25, 2024, “Wargasommar” premieres on TV4. The TV series, which consists of six episodes, is based on Hans Rosenfeldt novel of the same name. He is behind the hit series “Bron”.
– It is not an exciting “whodunnit” (“who did it?”, editor’s note) because we know where everyone is somewhere and what they have done. “Bron” was driven by new clues all the time, while “Wolf Summer” is more languid. I usually say that it is a bit like the movie “Fargo”. We try to achieve the feeling of creeping discomfort, without having to resort to car chases and guns, Rosenfeldt has said about the series to TT before.

In the series, a dead wolf is found, with human remains in its stomach, and the Haparanda Police Hannah Westerwhich is played by Eva Melanderis thrown into a case that seems to be connected to a bloody drug deal in Finland. At the same time, the couple collides Sandra and Kenneth with a car – containing a murdered man and three bags – bags like the professional killer Catplayed by Eliot Sumner, want to access.
A spiral of violence takes hold of the small town and several events turn out to have connections to Hannah’s dark past.
– We are extremely proud to be able to show Vargasommar to our viewers. A high-quality series with a strong own voice. Lots of suspense, mystery and a large dose of comedy. A Swedish crime in a way we haven’t seen before, says Johanna Lindhead of drama at TV4, i a press release.
