Directed by Academy Award® nominee Mikael Håfström, Veronika season two will be SkyShowtime’s first local original series recommission across its 20+ markets

SkyShowtime will have premiered over 30 Original Series by the end of 2025

SkyShowtime today announced that the hit Original series Veronika, has been renewed for a second season and will return to screens in 2025. This is SkyShowtime’s first original series recommission.

Lead actor and Executive Producer Alexandra Rapaport (Veronika, Gåsmamman, Honour) returns as police officer Veronika Gren, and Tobias Santelmann (Veronika, Exit, The Arctic Convoy) reprises his role as her husband Tomas. Arvin Kananian, Eddie Eriksson Dominguez and Sarah Rhodin will also return for the new season.

Season one of Veronika won over audiences with its crime thriller story about the murder of two teenage girls and police officer Veronika Gren (Alexandra Rapaport), a mother of two who struggling with a complicated family life and a secret pill addiction, who finds herself in a murder investigation that goes deeper than anyone in town would like to believe.

The new season continues to follow Veronika, who is still struggling with the ghosts of her past and her mysterious visions. She's impatient to return to her regular post in the police and wishes for things to go back to normal. As the series unfolds, she finds herself in the middle of a dark and perplexing murder mystery, rooting back 60 years in time. As Veronika is torn between the world of living and the dead, her facade begins to crack. An inevitable chain of events puts everything she’s worked to rebuild at risk.

Veronika has proven to be a huge success, captivating so many of our members across all our markets. Once again with Alexandra Rapaport and Tobias Santelmann at the helm, and a superb team of creators behind the scenes, we believe viewers will continue to enjoy this very unique crime story with a supernatural twist that Veronika is. Underscoring our commitment to making SkyShowtime a great partner to storytellers from around our footprint, the second season of the show will add to the growing line-up of about 30 SkyShowtime Originals available to our members by the end of 2025.”

Alexandra Rapaport said: “This show is so dear to me and I’m more than grateful and proud that it has found a large audience and is returning for a second season on SkyShowtime. I can’t wait to go back and explore Veronika’s special universe one more time.’’
