While Europe producesquality TVthat often gets adapted to American television, it’s common that we don’t get to watch several of them simply because they’re not on our radar. That’s one of the purposes of Viaplay, a streaming service that brings quality TV to American audiences. This month, Viaplay is bulking up its catalog withFace to Face, an intense interrogation drama starringLars Mikkelsen(The Witcher). The streamer allowed Collider to exclusively debut the trailer, so we can now share it with you.
In the story, Mikkelsen plays Holger Lang, the CEO of a large,billions-worth companythat is shocked to his core when he watches his heir gets assassinated through a livestream. The series then moves on to investigate who killed the woman, their motives and why would they record it. Each episode follows the interrogation of a different suspect as Holger desperately tries to connect the dots and figure out who hired a hitman to murder his protégé.

But, the more he talks to the people around him, the more he realizes that everyone is a suspect. And it gets worse: His desperation might end up making him a criminal himself.
