Beartown
Based on the Fredrik Backman’s bestselling novel of the same name, Beartown explores the role a junior ice-hockey team has in a small community, the hope, the secrets that could tear the town apart, the courage it takes to go against the group and the consequences of how we raise our children.
With the hockey program’s future at stake, Kevin faces increased pressure from the team and town. Later, a horrific act overshadows an evening of celebration.
While Maya tries to process the assault, Kevin trains harder to forget. Before the big game, Peter pushes his team and staff to their limits.
The cast and director discuss how the series explores difficult themes, including the consequences of a culture focused on winning.
