Netflix Unveils the First Look for 'Land of Sin' - Premiering on January 2, 2026

Today, Netflix released the launch date, first clip and images of the Swedish crime series Land of Sin, created and directed by Peter Grönlund (Goliath, Beartown).

Set in the Scanian countryside, this five-part series follows the investigation of a young teenager who is found dead on the Bjäre peninsula. Investigator Dani and her new partner Malik quickly uncover a violent family feud all while facing pressure from the family patriarch to solve the crime before he takes justice into his own hands.

The cast is led by Krista Kosonen, Mohammed Nour Oklah and Peter Gantman among others. As with Grönlund's earlier work, this film also features a number of first-time actors who are making their debut.

Peter Grönlund says: This is not your average crime show. The world we enter here is darker, more fragile - a place where shame, love and violence share the same pulse. We pushed beyond formula and style to portray the people at the edge, their fears, loyalties and survival instincts - a raw, cinematic journey into the psychology that drives them, and the secrets they carry like a second skin

Land of Sin will launch globally on Netflix on January 2, 2026

ABOUT LAND OF SIN

Synopsis: When teenager Silas is found dead at a farmhouse on the Bjäre peninsula - the perpetually angry, odd but highly intelligent investigator Dani (Krista Kosonen) is teamed up with newly graduated police colleague Malik (Mohammed Nour Oklah) to investigate the case. The investigation leads Dani and Malik into a patriarchal rat-hole on the Scanian countryside and they soon find themselves at the center of a dark family feud that has been going on for generations. Dani, who has a personal connection to the victim Silas, is drawn deep into the investigation and the families it centers around. The Patriarch Elis (Peter Gantman) gives Dani a deadline to solve the case before taking matters into his own hands within the family. Synden is a modern crime set in an uncertain world of conflict and violence where the original sin is constantly present.
