The crime series that BBC calls Sweden’s most watched, titled “Beck,” has seen a significant rise in popularity within the UK, climbing up the charts with its recently released two-part mystery.
Today, the TV show inspired by the Martin Beck detective novels written by Swedish authors Maj Sjöwall and Per Wahlöö has landed at number 7 on BBC’s list of most-watched programs.
The latest season of the well-known Swedish series was made available on August 9th via the streaming service, and features two extended episodes titled “Vilhelm” and “The Invisible Man”. This is actually the show’s tenth season, which initially premiered back in 1997.
In a report from The Guardian, the fresh two-episode tale is labeled as “gritty,” focusing on a group of investigators delving into a lethal heist. Yet, appearances can be deceiving in this case; there’s a depth to the mystery that goes beyond initial impressions.
The principal actors are Peter Haber, Jennie Silfverhjelm, and Valter Skarsgard, who is the son of renowned actor Stellan Skarsgard.
Back in the day, around three decades ago, I found myself leaping from the pages of those intriguing books and landing on the TV screen as Martin Beck. Fast forward to 2015, this epic journey continued when the BBC snatched up the rights to keep my adventures alive and well!
A fresh Swedish whodunit titled “The Truth Will Out” has just joined a UK streaming platform’s lineup, now accessible on Amazon Prime Video. This intriguing series finds Detective Peter Wendel (Robert Gustafsson) and his squad delving into cold cases while uncovering evidence to exonerate an individual falsely accused and imprisoned.
The show received unanimous praise from viewers, as every season of this gripping crime drama has a flawless viewer rating of 100% on Rotten Tomatoes.
In the year 2025, we can expect a surge of detective tales to arrive, as ITV prepares to unveil their new lineup of dramas. Among them is the much-awaited return of Vicky McClure’s series titled Trigger Point.
Beck’s new episodes, Vilhelm and The Invisible Man, are streaming on BBC iPlayer.
The latest print edition of Digital Spy’s magazine is available now! You can purchase “Oasis – Live in ’25” from newsstands or online for only £8.99.
