ore murder (Eremorden) has been officially greenlit for a second season. Here’s everything we know so far about Hanna Ahlander and Daniel Lindskog’s return to Netflix, including filming schedules, plot speculations, and projected release dates.
Based on the best-selling crime novels by Viveka Sten, the Swedish series premiered on Netflix in February 2025 and soon found a worldwide audience. Praised for its atmospheric “Frozen Noir” setting and complex character dynamics, it was well received, but took some time to receive an official renewal.
How well did the show do? Let’s take a look at the figures:
- The show remained in the non-English TV weekly top 10 list for a total of four weeks, garnering 93.6 million hours watched, garnering 25.8 million views.
- The show appeared in weekly charts in 84 countries and, perhaps most importantly, spent 62 days in the Swedish top 10.
- Netflix engagement reports show it reached 32.6M views in the first half of 2025 and an additional 4.6M views in the second half of the year.
Is ore murder Renewed for Season 2?
official renewal status:Updated (Confirmed as of December 2025)
Yes, The Ouray Murders is officially returning. The renewal of The Ouray Murders was quietly confirmed by Netflix’s Nordic social media accounts late last year instagram post telling: “Hey Murder Season 2 returns with two new cases for Hanna and Daniel ❄️ coming in 2026.”
Report from Swedish outlet moviezine And other local sources confirmed that Netflix was pleased with the “global breakout” status of the first season, which attracted millions of viewers who resonated with the snowy, small-town mystery format.
Production status and release date estimates
Season 2 was reportedly scheduled to debut in early January 2026, which makes sense given the show’s icy outdoor nature. Netflix Nordic’s social media accounts once again confirmed that filming was underway on February 4, 2026.
Carla Sehn and Cardo Razzazi, who play Hannah and Daniel respectively, said in the video: “Hello everyone. We’re here in minus 31 degrees and have started production on The Are Murders Season 2, and we promise Season 2 will be just as exciting.” [as season 1] – See you soon!”
When will Season 2 be on Netflix? Post-production will likely take the series into the latter part of the year, with cameras rolling in early 2026. However, Nordic crime series often aim to create a release window that matches their setting. We are currently estimating a release in late 2026 or early 2027.
What will season 2 be about? (book spoilers)
Season 1 consisted of the first two books in Viveca Stein’s The Aubrey Murders series: hidden in the snow And hidden in the shadows.
Netflix has teased that Season 2 will feature “two new cases”, suggesting that they will continue the format of directly adapting the novels. If they follow the publishing order, Season 2 will likely be adapted:
- Book 3: Hidden in Memories (Dalskugan) – This story usually involves a murder at the luxurious Copperhill Mountain Lodge just before Easter. It delves deep into the history of the local mountain resorts and forces Daniel to confront anger management issues while Hanna battles her own emotional demons.
- Book 4: Hidden in Lies (Villesederen) or Book 5: Hidden in Mercy (Bottgoren) – Depending on the episode count, they may deal with later books that deal with everything from skeletal remains found in ski lifts to the deep secrets of the Swedish aristocracy.
