“The Hunt for Jasper S.” It depicts the search for the perpetrator of a murder that had a huge impact on society. It shows how the Netherlands first confronted persistent conspiracy theories, fueled by social media. The crime went unsolved for years. In the end, the case was one of the first in the Netherlands to be resolved using DNA evidence.
Willem Busch, Showrunner at Pupkin: “For over ten years I’ve been looking at the idea of turning the Hunt for Jasper S. into a series. I’ve always imagined the series as a traditional Dutch Nordic Noir, so who’s the best partner from the original Swedish Viaplay.”
