Veronika is a 2024 Swedish psychological thriller, crime drama television series, which was developed by Viaplay.
The titular protagonist Veronika, portrayed by Alexandra Rapaport, is a small town policewoman, who has a pill addiction which suppresses her psychic visions.
Her husband Tomas (Tobias Santelmann) is the local music teacher and primary carer for their children Liv (Sarah Rhodin [sv]) and Simon (Eddie Eriksson Dominguez).
She finds a young woman, Hanna's corpse and assists in the associated murder investigation led by police detective Nassir (Arvin Kananian [sv]).
Her long-suffering husband, Tomas is frustrated by her apparent indifference to their family's problems with their son, Simon's attention-seeking behaviour and teenage daughter, Liv's misbehaviour when her swimming aspirations are thwarted.
Suspecting attempted suicide, Veronika is committed to the psychiatric ward and sedated by hospital staff.
