Midnattssol (French: Jour polaire, English: midnight sun) is a Swedish-French police procedural series which aired for one season on Sveriges Television on 2016. As Midnight Sun, the series debuted on Australia's SBS on January 12, 2017. Anders Harnesk (Gustaf Hammarsten) and Kahina Zadi (Leïla Bekhti) are the two main protagonists. The pair investigate the death of a French national in far north Sweden, near Kiruna. It is the first in a series of mysterious, ritualistic killings. The town center is being moved as their biggest employer, an iron mining company, has worked from underneath.
