Some secrets should stay below the surface.

Media Res has entered into a first-look distribution agreement with Fifth Season, naming the Swedish series Summer of 1985 as the first project under the new partnership.

A sales trailer, which has Stranger Things meets Midsommar vibes, can be seen below.

The official description of the series reads “Summer, 1985. As Live Aid echoes worldwide, fifteen-year-old Johannes reunites with his friends in the archipelago, hoping for an idyllic holiday. The calm shatters when a local boy is found drowned near the mythical island of Svärtan. What seems like an accident becomes a murder investigation, exposing fractures within the tight-knit community. As the investigation deepens, the hidden discovery of an ancient and inexplicable creature begins to blur legend and reality, forcing the island to confront a darkness long kept at bay.”
