SBS on Demand: Midnight Sun

Swedish thriller Midnight Sun will be available on SBS On Demand from Thursday 1 December, ahead of its broadcast on SBS in early 2017.

Directed by Marlind & Stein, (The Bridge) it stars French actress Leila Bekhti (The Prophet, All That Glitters), Swedish actor Gustaf Hammarsten (Bruno, The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo), and follows the investigation of the brutal murder of a French citizen in Kiruna, a small Swedish town in the Arctic Circle where the sun never sets. What ensues is the discovery of a ten-year-old secret conspiracy that no one could ever imagine.

Head of SBS On Demand, David Gwynne, said: “The international interest and response to this new thriller has been exceptional and we’re pleased to be able to add this to our growing library of premium content on SBS On Demand – available exclusively and for free.

“Australians have really embraced Scandinavian dramas, a genre SBS has been home to for almost 20 years. Most recently, we’ve had great success bringing premium Scandi-noir titles to Australians first on SBS On Demand, including Trapped and Modus.”

Episodes One and Two are available online from Thursday 1 December, Three and Four from Tuesday 6 December, and the final four episodes available from Tuesday 13 December.

The series broadcasts on SBS in early 2017.
