Danish series ‘Oxen' is coming to Channel 4 and C4 Streaming this month it has been confirmed.
‘Oxen' stars Jacob Hauberg Lohmann, Josephine Park and Ellen Hillingsø, and it was created by Mai Brostrøm and Peter Thorsboe.
Niels Oxen, Denmark’s highest decorated war hero, has lost his best friend during a military mission in Mali, all because his superior Major Hannibal Frederiksen abandoned their mission.
Subsequently, Oxen manages to persuade the chairman of the Defense Committee, Johnny Gregersen to establish an investigation commission against Major Hannibal. Soon after, Gregersen is mysteriously killed, and Hannibal walks free. Meanwhile, Oxen is wrongfully arrested for possession of narcotics and dishonourably discharged from his military duties and loses contact with his ex-wife and their son.
In the course of investigating Gregersen's murder, Danish Security and Intelligence Service (DSIS) police officer Margrethe Franck experiences a severe and life-changing accident. She is then initiated into a secret investigation led by DSIS Chief Frigg Mossman.
Devastated by the false evidence against him and seeking peace and seclusion from society, Oxen ventures into Rold Forest with his dog. However, the tranquillity is disrupted by the discovery of three hanged dogs and subsequent murders of their owners, including Hannibal, a local judge, and Hans Otto Corfitzen. Oxen becomes the prime suspect.
DSIS Chief Mossman summons Oxen for questioning in the case. The interrogation takes an unexpected turn though when Mossman offers him an undercover job. Initially declining, Oxen changes his mind after finding his own dog hanged in the camp.
Police Officer Margrethe becomes Oxen's colleague, and the two strong-willed individuals form a powerful partnership. As the chain of mysterious murders continues, they embark on a long journey toward justice.
Walter Presents: ‘Oxen' launches on Channel 4 on 17th November 2024 at midnight. It will be available as a boxset on on C4 Streaming on 15th November.
