Rose was witness to a dark Norse ritual the night before she died. What does the main suspect know?

Lena Ekström’s investigation widens as Lars’ story starts to unravel, revealing rituals, runes and the unsettling culture behind Valborg Academy. Clues begin to point toward Asgaard’s founders, and a call from Echo Terra deepens the corporate and political stakes around Rose’s death. 

Meanwhile, a return to her childhood haunts, and a resurfacing trauma, threatens Lena’s composure just as the case takes a sharp turn. When she and Aksel track a lead to a secluded cabin, they make a shocking discovery that rips the investigation open. Wolf Valley’s shadows are lengthening, and Lena is being pulled further in than ever before.

The third episode of a propulsive Nordic noir ecothriller in which ancient beliefs and modern conspiracies converge within an isolated Nordic valley.

The body of a young woman, Rose Smith, lies in the icy waters of the fjord. Who put her there?

Forensics suggest a brutal killing. When it emerges the victim is a British citizen, Lena is teamed up with hotheaded Oslo detective Aksel Karlin to investigate Rose’s death. Clues from Rose’s online life reveal she was onto something, and a startling new video suggests a connection with Lars Vikstad - son of powerful landowner Henrik Vikstad. Lena must confront troubled relationships new and old as the secrets of Wolf Valley begin to stir, revealing just how dark its shadows truly are.

Wolf Valley: Trailer

It’s been 12 years since social worker Cassie discovered a mysterious mould in her home, invisible to almost everyone except her. Now the fungus has spread - its glowing spores a major global health threat, infecting the brains of those who inhale them. But many refuse to take seriously a menace they cannot see. 
 
When spores erupt at a care home in Wales, Cassie’s son Bryn and 30 residents are exposed to infection. But how could this have happened when just days earlier the building was declared mould-free by a mycelium-sighted Inspector?
 
For Bryn there is only one explanation: not everyone who claims to see the mould can be trusted. But who is this rogue Inspector and why would they lie? In his search for answers, Bryn’s fraught relationship with Cassie will be tested to the limit as they battle to stop the fungus before the looming pandemic can take hold.
 
In Greek mythology, Cassandra was condemned to speak the truth yet never be believed. A story of trust and what happens when we lose it. And of a hidden threat destroying the very thing that makes us powerful.
