“Bron/Broen” was always a gamble. Our goal of simultaneous broadcast in both Sweden and Denmark was simply unheard of. Today, the show has become a worldwide phenomenon: The two first seasons have each been sold to 120 and 93 countries, have been awarded prestigious prizes and are considered the epitome of the genre Nordic Noir. Not only that: The idea of a cross-border investigation as the basis of a cross-border co-production – which seemed daunting at first – has been appropriated for remakes in the US/Mexico and UK/France, with more on the way.“Bron/Broen III" will elaborate on the universe and characters established in the first two seasons. Saga’s old partner Martin is serving life in prison, convicted of the murder of his son’s killer. When a string of macabre murders in Malmö and Copenhagen turn out to be linked, Saga is forced to work together with a new partner: Henrik Brodersen, a man with a few secrets of his own. As Saga and Henrik hunt for the presumed serial killer, they uncover a sinister plot in the vein of a Greek tragedy: A son seeking revenge against his father.Season III will utilise the format made popular in the first two seasons: The opening episodes will establish a number of seemingly unrelated characters in the style of a sprawling network narrative. As the story develops, each narrative strand will be joined into a remarkable finale.We will also continue our tradition of using the show as a platform for debating social issues. Previous seasons have examined social and ecological responsibility in society; in the third, we turn towards the responsibility within the family, a theme that will bind our characters together in a compelling and poignant way.As mentioned, “Bron/Broen” has always been a gamble, and in exchanging one of our leads, we are gambling once again. However, we are every bit as confident now as we were then in our ability to tell a daring, exciting and relevant story which will intrigue fans and newcomers alike.
