One of our favourite Nordic Noirs – Sorjonen (or Bordertown in its English-language iteration) – is coming back. The last time we saw titular detective Kari Sorjonen was in the TV movie, The Mural Murders on Netflix at the tail end of 2021.

REVIEW Bordertown: The Mural Murders
A new feature-length instalment of the revered Finnish crime drama.
NORDIC NOIR EXCLUSIVE Is Bordertown: The Mural Murders a full series and will there be any more?
Netflix once again surprised us yesterday when it dropped the next instalment of the Bordertown saga – subtitled The Mural Murders. Once again the fabulous Ville Virtanen stars as Kari Sorjonen. But is this the start of a new series? The short answer is no. The Mural Murders is a one-off, feature-length instalment, first shown…

Series three of Bordertown now filming in Finland
What’s been great about the recent influx of Scandinavian and Nordic crime dramas is that Finland has also been getting in on the act. We loved Deadwind (Karppi) and we also love Bordertown (Sorjonen), too. Broadcast on YLE in its native Finland and around the world on, you guessed it, Netflix, the series tells the…
Review: Bordertown: Nukkekoti Osa (E1-3/11), Saturday 1st April, Netflix
Nordic Noir is dead we keep hearing. Broadcasters are now straying away from the tried and tested cop procedurals based in Scandinavia, we’re being told.

Finnish drama Bordertown starts on Netflix: will you be watching?
The proliferation of foreign-language crime drama is widespread these days – it seems not a day goes by without a new series starting on either Walter Presents, Channel 4 or the BBC.

Netflix acquires Finnish series Bordertown for global broadcast; names transmission date
