Wisting Season 3 Trailer
Wisting Season 3 Plot
On a farm close to Larvik, Norway, a man’s body was found beneath the Christmas tree, completely covered in snow.
The investigation into this murder is being directed by William Wisting, and the fingerprint evidence point to Robert Godwin, an American serial killer whom has been wanted for more than 20 years and is still at large.
It was assumed that he had escaped to Larvik and maintained a low profile while posing as someone from the area to remain undetected.
Therefore, the FBI sent Special Agents John Bantham and Maggie Gryphon to support the Norwegian inquiry. But in order for the murderer to be able to escape once again, they must keep their names and whereabouts as a secret as they can.
Line, Wisting’s daughter, is a journalist that is now writing a piece about their neighbor’s death. Her situation is unintentionally connected to the murder inquiry, making her a key suspect in the case as well.
Bantham’s cover is blown by Line’s relationship with him, revealing his identity. The number of murders increases exponentially as a result of the authorities learning the killer’s main disposal location. Before Wisting et Gryphon manage to corner the murderer, the search extends into Sweden across the border.
Wisting then makes an appearance on national television to do his investigations and is confronted by Vidar Haglund’s attorney, who was imprisoned for 17 years but has subsequently maintained his innocence.
Wisting has been suspended while the investigation into the case is ongoing because the crucial DNA evidence on the crime site he is assigned to has been tampered with. Line is enraged by this and makes a promise to clear her father’s reputation while working on a case that is related to everything else.
In the snow under a tree, a man’s corpse is discovered on a farm that grows Christmas trees close to Larvik, Norway. William Wisting with his team of investigators are looking into this.
Robert Godwin, an American serial murderer who has been on a quest for more than 20 years, is connected to the killing by fingerprints. He is said to have escaped to Larvik while “hiding in plain sight” by posing as a local person.
In retaliation, the FBI sent Special Agents John Bantham and Maggie Gryphon to support the Norwegian inquiry. But they must remain covert in order to prevent the murderer, who they think may depart once again, from learning of their presence.
Line, Westing’s daughter, is a journalist who is working on a piece on their neighbour who passed away by himself in his home. She unintentionally makes links between her inquiry and the police murder probe, making her a target.
Line’s relationship with Bantham exposes his identity, jeopardising his cover. Before Wisting and Gryphon finally catch the culprit in a dramatic finale, the police find the perpetrator’s primary dumpsite, the corpse count drastically increases, and the search crosses into Sweden.
