The first season of Acquitted was about the consequences of a 20 year old unsolved murder. About the doubt that the case left behind, about the existential problem that faced our main character, Aksel, as acquitted in this case, but still suspected. He was driven by his own inner doubt: could he really be Karine's killer? When William confessed to murdering Karine and then tried to take his own life, he got the answer he was searching for, but happiness would be short lived.In the second season it turns out William survived the suicide attempt and it came as a shock to Aksel when he withdrew his confession. An even bigger blow came when Eva decided to support her husband. Aksel felt an overwhelming need for justice and the roles were reversed: Aksel becomes possessed by the idea of putting William behind bars, while Eva extends a hand that Aksel refuses to take. Instead, he goes to war, to fight for final acquittal and justice. This is the war that the second season of Acquitted is about.While the locals join forces and support William and Eva, suspicions about Aksel accelerate in line with his desperate hunt for evidence that could bring William down in court. When he finally succeeds in this, events take a new and dramatic turn: with their backs against the wall, William and Eva decide to reveal the darkest of secrets, a secret that points to Aksel being Karine's killer. Once again everyone is looking at Aksel, and once again it is a murderer that they see. They say that we are created in the glance of the other person, then who will Aksel become, when everyone who means anything to him turns against him? This second season will dig deeper into exploring the consequences of Karine's murder. We are going to a dark and unpredictable Lifjord. At high tempo, and with rising intensity, we will draw our characters to the outermost points. We will delve deeper into the dilemmas that all the relationships are exposed to as we address the question of Aksel's guilt.
