It was announced today (Wednesday, 9th October) that the BBC has acquired the highly-anticipated show, which was written and directed by Oscar-nominated Tobias Lindholm.
Speaking of the series, Tobias, who recently worked with David Fincher on Netflix's Mindhunter, shared: "It is with great humility that I create The Investigation. There is a great deal of responsibility in choosing to tell stories about events from the real world.
"Therefore, I am more than grateful for all the support I've received, including some of Denmark's and Sweden's most talented and acclaimed actors."
While Sue Deeks, BBC Head of Programme Acquisition, added: "Tobias Lindholm is an extraordinarily gifted and sensitive film-maker, and we are so looking forward to bringing the remarkable story of The Investigation to BBC viewers".
The series is currently in production in Denmark and an air date is yet to be announced.
