BBC adds every episode of The Bridge to iPlayer ahead of final series

Sofia Helin will return as Saga Noren for the Scandinavian crime series' final run

The BBC has added every episode of Scandinavian crime series The Bridge to iPlayer in anticipation if its long-awaited final season.

First released in 2011, the series - starring Sofia Helin - is on the cusp of returning after three years following the culmination of its third season in 2015.

Helin will reprise the role of Saga Norén for the final run when it premieres on BBC Two in May. It debuted in Denmark on 1 January 2018.

The ten-episode first season, which co-stars Kim Bodnia as Detective Martin Rohde, centres on the discovery of a dead body at the exact centre of the Øresund Bridge which links Malmo with Copenhagen.

Created and written by Hans Rosenfeldt, it immediately became one of the most popular dramas to emerge from both Denmark and Sweden going on to be broadcast in over 100 countries globally.

The new series will be thematically similar to what's come before with the trailer featuring a woman being stoned to death and a machine gun rampage through Copenhagen.

The opening theme song is “Hollow Talk” by Choir of Young Believers.
