The Truth Will Out Season Two to Stream on Viaplay

Nordic Entertainment Group (NENT Group) will bring a second season of the acclaimed Swedish crime drama The Truth Will Out to viewers across the Nordic region on its Viaplay streaming service in early 2021.

Robert Gustafsson returns to headline the new season, which is based on an idea by renowned Swedish criminologist and author Leif G.W. Persson. The six-episode series is co-produced with Discovery Networks Sweden and will be shown on Discovery’s platforms in Sweden at a later date.

Filming is set to start this spring, and Banijay Rights will distribute the show worldwide.

Season one writers Aron Levander (Jordskott) and Hans Jörlind will script season two, which will be directed by Kristian Petri (The Atlantic) and Daniel di Grado (Hidden) and is produced by Alexia Wennberg and Eiffel Mattson (The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared) for Yellow Bird.

Filippa Wallestam, NENT Group’s chief content officer, said: “Robert Gustafsson is a hugely gifted actor and his performance in the first season of The Truth Will Out represents one of the high points of Nordic drama in recent years. Viewers and critics alike have embraced this thrilling, intelligent and engaging series, and the second season will take its compelling blend of psychological depth and thematic breadth to a new level.”
