by

Fans of crime and thriller shows have something new to look forward to! Netflix just dropped the trailer for *The Asset*, a tense Danish spy series coming to screens worldwide on October 27th. Expect a dramatic story full of unexpected turns and challenging ethical questions.

I just finished watching this new series, and let me tell you, Clara Dessau is fantastic as Agent Tea. The premise is gripping: she goes deep undercover, infiltrating a seriously dangerous criminal organization. It’s a tense watch, seeing her navigate that world!

Tea’s job is to befriend Ashley, the mob boss’s girlfriend, by pretending to be a jeweller. As she gets deeper into this dangerous criminal world, she starts to wonder where her true allegiance lies.

Netflix describes its series, *The Asset*, as a story that blurs the lines between right and wrong. As the main character, Tea, gets closer to Ashley and learns about the dangerous world Ashley lives in under Miran’s control, Tea begins to question where her true allegiance lies.

A rookie agent is assigned to infiltrate the life of a drug smuggler’s wife, hoping to gain intel. However, as she builds a connection with her target, the operation gets increasingly complex.

Don’t miss THE ASSET, a brand new series premiering October 27th, exclusively on Netflix.

This six-episode thriller, originally called *Legenden* in Danish, explores questions of who we are, where our loyalties lie, and the difficult choices faced by those working undercover.

Samanou Acheche Sahlstrøm, the creative director of the show, explained to Netflix that she wanted the series to be driven by its characters and their connections. She was particularly interested in telling a story that examines how people grapple with who they are and where their loyalties lie when faced with intense challenges. She believes the main character, Tea, will show viewers just how far someone will go to do what they think is right, and how easily the difference between right and wrong can become unclear.

The film stars Dessau, along with Maria Cordsen, Afshin Firouzi, Nicolas Bro, Soheil Bavi, Arian Kashef, and Lara Ly Melic Skovgaard.

Now that the trailer is available, viewers are getting a first glimpse into the thrilling world of *The Asset* and its high-stakes undercover missions. Premiering around Halloween, the series appears to be a perfect choice for those who enjoy crime thrillers and intense spy stories.
