In the beginning, there was Silence.

For months, the world was turned off – no lights, no news, no internet. Humanity stood helpless in the face of a new reality: Superintelligence had taken over.

As everything is turned back on, a mysterious woman is found in the remote Himalayas. She is called the Savior by her followers and performs a series of miracles that give people new hope. Is she a saint, a butcher, or just another traitor?

In her shadow, three lives intertwine: a military doctor in Thailand, a tech tycoon with the key to the End in his pocket, and a blind girl by a Norwegian fjord.

Steinar Bragi’s The Savior is a futuristic thriller about gods and machines – and what comes after.

It is only when he is a few steps away that Holm realizes what, exactly, is protruding from the black sheet of ice. Two heads, their faces frozen in terror, their skin raw and burned by snow and frost.

A bitterly cold winter has descended upon Sweden, driving people indoors to wait out the darkness and the freezing temperatures. But when two members of parliament are found grotesquely frozen into the ice of a remote forest lake, the entire country is thrown into turmoil. The only thing the killer has left behind is a message, written in frozen blood.

Detective Inspector Leo Asker has been suspended from her position in the Department of Lost Souls, and not even Martin Hill can persuade her to leave her secluded cabin. Meanwhile, deep in the basement of Malmö police headquarters, the lost souls have picked up a promising lead. Could their investigation lead them to the killer the whole country is searching for? And can they find him before he chooses his next victim? Because the Frost Lord is far from finished with his work.

The Frost Lord is the fifth installment in the bestselling Leo Asker Series.

The four-part psychological thriller series is produced by Frida Asp and Fatima Varhos for Asp Varhos.

As they settle into each other’s houses, unsettling details begin to surface. The romantic Sicily villa doesn’t quite match the pictures and when the local police come asking about a missing person, unsettling questions arise about the house owners. Who are these people Carl and Helene have traded homes with? In the modern architectural dream house in Stockholm, things feel awkward for Adam and Scarlett. Why are the neighbors so nosy, and why is the walk-in closet locked? As secrets emerge and hidden betrayals come to light, what started as a picture‑perfect escape warps into a twisted game of surveillance, manipulation and mistrust.

All four episodes are available as of today on Netflix.
