Swedish crime series Iris – Die Wahrheit returns to ZDF

The second season of the Swedish crime series “Iris – Die Wahrheit” premieres on ZDF on November 8, 2026. Starring Sofia Helin as investigator Iris Broman, the series follows a special unit in Malmö dedicated to cold cases.

The new season begins with the discovery of a skeleton in a forest near Ystad. While initial suspicions point to a landowner missing for ten years, forensic evidence suggests the victim was a younger individual identified as a drug addict named Jonathan. The investigation involves a local resident named Martin, who appears nervous during questioning.

Parallel to the investigation, the plot follows Iris as she deals with personal trauma and her pursuit of a crime boss, Van Voorst, who is believed to be responsible for the death of her partner. The season consists of six episodes, broadcast in double installments on Sunday evenings.
