Fatal Crossing

Nora Sand is a successful foreign correspondent whose career collapses when she's accused of an inappropriate relationship with a source connected to a major investigation. Suspended and under public scrutiny, she returns to Denmark to regroup. Back home she reconnects with family, runs into old acquaintances and pursues leads that complicate the simple narrative the press expects. The series follows her attempts to clear her name while she continues reporting, showing how newsroom politics, public pressure and private loyalties collide. The tone stays intimate and tense, and episodes gradually reveal the costs of being a reporter and the uncertainty of truth, with urgency.

Premiered in 2023, Fatal Crossing was created by Kristine Berg and Arne Berggren, produced in Denmark and developed for television, emphasizing character-driven investigative drama and newsroom realism, with authenticity. It attracted attention for its topical subject matter in Scandinavian media.
