On a freezing night in January 2004, gunshots shatter the calm of a small Swedish village. A young woman is murdered, and her neighbour survives multiple gunshot wounds. As police struggle to make sense of the crime, a web of suspicions, lies, and contradictions begins to surface.
Pray, Obey, Kill delves into the secretive Pentecostal congregation at the centre of the tragedy, exposing a rigid hierarchy built on manipulation, blind faith, and fanatical devotion. Following the investigation and the trial, and drawing on previously unseen evidence, the series reveals the hidden motivations behind the murders, the psychological control exerted over the young “Bride of Christ,” and the lasting impact on the community left behind.
Blending courtroom drama with investigative journalism, this gripping true crime series offers an intimate portrait of a world where faith and power collide — and shows how extreme belief can lead to devastating consequences.
Directed by Henrik Georgsson, one of Scandinavia’s most acclaimed directors (The Bridge, The Girl Who Played with Fire, Grace, End of Summer, Wisting, Marcella).
