Sofia Helin, Rafael Pettersson, and Dag Malmberg are the main cast members of “The Bridge”. The plot revolves around the search for a killer who left a body on the bridge, which is exactly on the border between Denmark and Sweden. Danish Inspector Martin Rohde and Swedish inspector Saga Noren are forced to set aside their differences and work together to capture the killer.

A well-written realistic story, incredible performance from the cast, and an engaging way of storytelling with surprising moments, are a few reasons why the Latin American audience has shown great likeness to this epic show. The creator of the show, Hans Rosenfeldt, expressed his desire to launch the fourth season for “The Bridge”, but there hasn’t been any official confirmation regarding the continuation of the series.
