What the Stars Say
Actor Jakob Oftebro: “Blood Sacrifice is an intense, emotional journey. Thomas is a man who has dedicated his life to the police, but when the attacks start targeting his own world, he’s forced to confront not only a brutal killer, but also the complicated relationship with his father. Playing him was both challenging and incredibly rewarding - it’s a story about justice, loyalty and what happens when the past refuses to stay buried.”
Actor Peter Andersson: “What drew me to Blood Sacrifice was the powerful mix of crime thriller and family drama. Playing a detective felt very close to my heart, especially as my own son is a police officer. I also really enjoyed working with Jakob — my fictional son this time — and I can’t wait for audiences to discover the tense series.”
