Bleak Icelandic sleeper hit Trapped (RÚV) will return in winter 2018. The crime drama, which follows the actions of police trying to solve a murder as a storm hits in a remote town, became the sleeper hit of 2016. The show will again be in the company of police officer Andri Ólafsson (Ólafur Darri Ólafsson) and his colleagues, as they examine an even more complex and challenging murder case.
The shooting of the second season, which will include 10 episodes began in October and is still ongoing. The stars of the first season, including police detectives Andri, Hinrika and Ásgeir, played by Ólafur Darri, Ólafsson, Ilmur Kjartansson and Ingvar Sigurðsson will all return, but viewers are told to expect a cast of new characters as well as some new scenery.

The series are expected to air in the fall of 2018. Like the first season, the second season is filmed in Siglufjörður town, in the surrounding countryside as well as Reykjavík.
We know very little about the crime at the center of the story. However, Baltasar Kormákur, the director of the series, told the local newspaper Morgunblaðið in October that the theme of the second season would be similar to the first: People who were for some reason trapped in the small fishing village with no escape. Geology and geophysics will also play a role he revealed, although he was unwilling to reveal much more.
