Efter stor succes i andre genrer, har TV2 Charlie nu givet sig i kast med sin første egenproducerede krimiserie.
Rammen om serien, er den historiske by Helsingør. Jesper Tøffner er manden der både skal indfange byens skønhed og historiens spænding. Og ambitionen om at indfange byen helt rigtigt, er høj. Det fortæller hovedforfatter Lolita Bellstar og producent Janni Helleskov, som sammen ejer det danske produktionsselskab Sequoia Global Alliance, til TV2. Produktionsholdet er taget godt imod af byen og de to ønsker derfor, både at skabe god underholdning og flotte billeder, som endvidere kan skabe værdi for byens borgere ved at promovere til både dansk og internationalt TV.
Serien er inspireret af bestsellerforfatteren Anna Grues krimier om “Den Skaldede Detektiv”. Historien handler om politiefterforskeren Dan Sommerdahl, spillet af Peter Mygind, som med stor ivrighed går ind i de lokale krimisager. Et engagement, som påvirker hans forhold til hans kone Marianne, Laura Drasbæk, som sammen med den tredje hovedkarakter Flemming Torp, også arbejder på politistationen. Et trekantsdrama ligger således og lurer, alt imens kriminsalsagerne udvikler sig.
Sommerdahl får premiere på TV2 Charlie i foråret 2020.

Jesper Tøffner is the cinematographer on The Sommerdahl Murders
The series is a philosophical crime TV-series revolving around murder, love and the idyllic Danish summer.
After great success in other genres, TV2 Charlie has now decided to produce its first, and very own, crime-series. During the summer of 2019, an experienced film crew have set the scene for an exciting story, following both police investigators and criminals.
The series is set in the historical town of Elsinore. The man asked to capture both the beauty of the city and the intrigues and excitement of the story, is Cinematographer, Jesper Tøffner. And the ambition to do exactly this right is, according to Lolita Bellstar and Janni Helleskov, very high. The two, Head Writer and Producer respectively, explains to TV2 how the whole crew was warmly welcomed by the citizens of Elsinore, and therefore wishes to create both good entertainment, but also a great promotion of the town on both Danish and International TV.
The Sommerdahl Murders is inspired by the Danish bestselling crime writer, Anna Grue’s stories. It is about police investigator, Dan Summerdahl, who gets greatly occupied with all the local criminal investigations. This object of attention is however damaging to his relationship with his wife, Marianne. Together will a third party, Flemming Torp, she also works at the police station. As we follow the series, both the crime investigations as well as a potential love triangle, starts to emerge.
Sommerdahl is expected to premiere on TV2 Charlie in the spring of 2020.
