Shudder Acquires Scandinavian Supernatural Mystery Show Jordskott; It Looks Fantastic!
Shudder has announced that they have acquired two seasons of the Scandinavian noir mystery series “Jordskott.” The first season will premiere on the horror streaming service on April 6th while the second doesn’t have a release date yet.
We’re told that the series has a strong “The Killing”-esque vibe but with elements of supernatural and folk horror twists.
Shudder VP of Global Acquisitions and Co-Productions Aurelie de Troyer explains, “’Jordskott’ has thrilled us with its alternative take on the crime drama phenomenon with elements of supernatural and Nordic-Noir mystery. We are excited to bring this series to our North American members, and this is a compelling addition to the ever-expanding Shudder slate of films and series.”
After watching the trailer, I am completely convinced that this is something I need to check out. It has a wonderful atmosphere and looks like it’s gorgeously shot. There’s also just enough twisted and sinister imagery to perk the horrorhound within.
The series stars Moa Gammel, Göran Ragnerstam, Richard Forsgren, and Lia Boysen. The trailer can be seen below.
Season 1 Synopsis:
“Jordskott” revolves around the seven-year disappearance of police investigator Eva Thörnblad’s daughter, Josefine. Still attempting to deal with the grief of her loss, Eva is haunted by the belief that Josefine did not drown during their fateful trip to the Silverhojd Lake, but was abducted. When a young boy goes missing in the same area, this motivates Eva to delve deeper into the mystery of the forest and confront her darkest fears.
