INTERVIEW OPPORTUNITY: Executive Producer John Mork (Under the Radar: Secrets of a Swedish Serial Killer)

After making waves in Europe with its recent Swedish debut, the shocking true crime docuseries The Bunker makes its highly anticipated, exclusive debut in the UK on Monday, January 13, 2025 and US on Thursday, January 16, 2025 on the Viaplay streaming service. The three-part documentary follows a woman revisiting her past trauma of being abducted, held in a bunker, and making a shocking escape. The Bunker offers a stark exploration of survival and a testament to the indomitable human spirit.

With echoes of the notorious Austrian Josef Fritzl case, this chilling new documentary sheds light on an unimaginable crime: a young Swedish woman, Isabel Eriksson, drugged and kidnapped by a doctor on their second date. Surviving the torturous abduction, the heroic woman confronts her past trauma in this unflinching new series.

 

In 2015, following a date with Dr. Martin Trenneborg, Isabel woke up in a bunker that the doctor had spent years building. He planned to keep her and other women locked up in this horrific place and although Isabel survived the terrifying ordeal, she is still haunted to this day. Battling PTSD, Isabel bravely faces her fears as she revisits her past and tries to come to terms with what the vile kidnapper did to her.

 

Episode 1: Abducted

Episode 2: The Kidnapper

Episode 3: The Escape

Swedish with English subtitles
