Jordskott (ˈjoːr‿dskoːt Br. Eng. "earth shot" or "subsoil shoot") is a 2015 Swedish TV series, which is broadcast by SVT. The series premiered on 16 February 2015, and the series was filmed in Sala and Ragunda in the summer of 2014. The series started broadcasting on ITV Encore in the UK on 10 June 2015 and on Canal+ Seriale in Poland on 10 October 2016. The show's producers have ideas for a second season, but SVT is waiting to see how the show performs before deciding whether to continue.
Police inspector Eva Thörnblad (Moa Gammel) returns to the village of Silverhöjd, seven years after her daughter Josephine disappeared beside a lake in the forest. Josephine's body was never found and it was presumed that she had drowned. Upon Eva's return, a boy is missing and Eva begins to look for similarities between this disappearance and that of her daughter. At the same time, she has to deal with the death and probate of her late father and his large timber felling and processing business, Thörnblad Cellulosa.
Over the course of the series, Eva discovers that the children's disappearance is inextricably tangled with the conflict between those who want to protect the forest and the community that depends on Thörnblad Cellulosa.
