The Glass Dome

When a friend's daughter disappears, criminologist Lejla drops what she’s doing to help with the search, bringing professional skills and a fierce personal commitment to a case that quickly gets darker than it first appears. As she follows leads and interviews witnesses, old memories from her own childhood abduction start to surface, reshaping how she reads clues and reacts to suspects. The series balances procedural investigation with intimate character work, keeping the mystery central while showing how trauma can alter perception, trust, and relationships. Lejla’s efforts pull other figures into the orbit of the missing girl, and every interview, discovery, and setback raises the stakes without revealing the show’s longer arcs or resolutions.

Released in 2025, The Glass Dome was created by Camilla Läckberg, Axel Stjärne, and Amanda Högberg, and directed by Lisa Farzaneh and Henrik Björn, with Leonie Vincent, Johan Hedenberg, Johan Rheborg, Ia Langhammer, and Cecilia Nilsson among the leads.

As of its 2025 release the series had not collected major international awards, but it benefits from a team and cast known within Scandinavian crime drama, which has helped it gain attention among genre viewers and critics alike.

The show leans into Nordic crime drama conventions, using quiet tension, moral ambiguity, and a chilly atmosphere to unsettle viewers. Its production values and careful pacing echo recent Scandinavian mysteries, and the involvement of Camilla Läckberg has made it a notable entry for fans of that tradition.

Critical and audience responses have been fairly positive, the series holding a 7.0/10 average from viewers. Reviewers and viewers have highlighted strong central performances and the way the show treats memory and trust, while some note a deliberate pace that favors mood and character over rapid plot twists.
