From the producers of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Acorn TV features the DVD debut of the critically acclaimed foreign-language drama THE TRUTH WILL OUT (Det Som Göms I Snö) on October 1, 2019. The top-rated Swedish drama is an addictive eight-part series about a police detective who is commissioned to form a new team to reopen unsolved murder cases. The “rich, wholly-engaging, and binge-worthy series” (Euro TV), made its U.S. premiere in March 2019 on Acorn TV. The Truth Will Out is a part of Acorn TV’s expertly curated collection of foreign-language dramas produced across the globe, including The Oldenheim 12 and Lord & Master from the Netherlands; Vidago Palace from Portugal; Tangled Lies and The Ladies’ Paradise from Italy; The Disappearance and L’Accident from France; Hidden and Bang from Wales; and Rebecka Martinsson and Black Widows from Scandinavia.

Inspired by true events, this Swedish crime drama from the producers of the global sensation Millennium series delivers enthralling mystery, striking scenery, and “a dark glimmer of droll humor” (Boston Herald). Returning to work following a mental breakdown, Detective Peter Wendel (Robert Gustafsson, The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window & Disappeared) is tasked with creating an elite team of investigators to crack cold cases. When the police find a note on a dead body that claims Sweden’s most notorious serial killer is a fraud, Wendel gets a chance to redeem himself—but only the dregs of the force are available to work the case. Under pressure to mobilize quickly, Wendel is forced to hire two cops who hate each other, plus a forthright woman who isn’t even a police officer. Can his lowly group solve this high-profile crime?
Per the series producer, “The show is inspired by the true story of Thomas Quick, a Swedish convicted mass murderer who was eventually proved innocent.” The Truth Will Out also stars Ia Langhammer, Louise Peterhoff, Christopher Wagelin, Maria Sundbom, and Tyra Olin.
