‘The Åre Murders’ Ending Explained: Two Murders, Two Detectives and an Uncertain Future

Editor's Note: The following article contains spoilers for The Åre Murders.Netflix's most recent crime show takes us to the snowy landscapes of Sweden, where two murder cases unravel under the investigative care of lead detectives Hanna (Carla Sehn) and Daniel (Kardo Razzazi). The Åre Murders is a 5-episode show based on a book series of the same name by Viveca Sten, and it adapts the first two novels. The series itself is split between two distinct and entirely separate cases, where the first three episodes are based on and named after "Hidden in Snow" and the final two on "Hidden in Shadows." However, they are tied together by Hanna's evolving relationship with the town, as she was supposed to be on leave when she arrived at Åre, but her inquisitive nature pulled her into the first case. As each investigation unwinds, Hanna and Daniel become more comfortable working together, leading to the series' open-ended finale where uncertainty lingers on the horizon.
