The first series consists of 20 fifty-minutes episodes, which follow the police investigation into the murder of a young woman from its commencement on 3 November to its conclusion on 22 November. Gråbøl was told only that she was not the killer. The actors would receive the scripts only on an episode-by-episode basis just moments before shooting was scheduled to begin. As a result she began "acting like a man" until the character took shape.ĭuring filming of the first series Sveistrup also refused to reveal the identity of the murderer or even specific plot points to members of the cast, including Sofie Gråbøl. Filmingĭespite her insistence that she wanted to play an "isolated person unable to communicate" Gråbøl initially found it difficult to strike the right balance for the emotionally distant Lund until she realised that the only people she knew who were like the character were men. Gråbøl had a history of playing emotionally demonstrative characters on Danish television -she had worked with Sveistrup before on the TV-series Nikolaj og Julie -he approached her direct to play the part of Sarah Lund before work on the script began. Gråbøl, in particular, became eager to defend her character. Søren Sveistrup, series creator and head writer, worked closely with lead actress Sofie Gråbøl throughout the writing process to successfully develop the character of Detective Inspector Sarah Lund. Novelizations of each series have been published by Macmillan.
