Netflix, Don’t Ghost Us: The Case of The Missing The Glass Dome Season 2

Production Buzz: What’s Happening Behind the Scenes?

At this stage, production is not underway – remember, Netflix hasn’t officially ordered Season 2 yet, so cameras aren’t rolling. However, knowing that Camilla Läckberg has a Season 2 outline ready to go​ means the writing process has a head start. We can infer that if Netflix gives the go-ahead, Läckberg (possibly with co-writers) would quickly expand that synopsis into scripts. Given her proactive approach, a lot of groundwork might already be in her notebook, waiting to be greenlit.

One interesting aspect of potential Season 2 production is the change in setting. Season 1 was filmed in Sweden (the fictional town Granås was depicted, likely using real locations in Dalarna and surrounding areas for that eerie forest vibe). For Season 2, Läckberg’s plan to set it in Skåne (southern Sweden)​swedenherald.com would mean a new filming location – perhaps the scenic countryside or coastlines of Skåne in the summer. Production logistics would involve shooting in a warmer season (a shift from the wintry feel of Season 1). This could affect when production can happen – for instance, filming a “summer” season might need to actually take place during summer months for authenticity (unless they fake it). That could mean the team might target Summer 2025 for shooting (if renewal is timely), aligning with the weather needed for Skåne’s story. It’s speculative, but it’s the kind of behind-the-scenes planning nugget that excites fans who like to think ahead.

There’s also the question of episode count and format. Season 1 was six episodes​sportskeeda.com, a tight miniseries format. We can likely expect Season 2 to also be around 5–6 episodes if it follows the trend of Nordic Noir mini-series. That compact schedule could make production a bit faster (no 22-episode seasons to film, thankfully!). It’s likely to remain a limited series structure – just another intense handful of episodes to devour.

In terms of crew, we’d expect the same creative team to return. Season 1 was co-directed by Lisa Farzaneh (who did an excellent job setting the tone) and we might see her or other Swedish directors come back for Season 2. Nothing official on that, but continuity behind the camera would make sense to maintain the show’s signature style – dark, atmospheric, and suspenseful.

A tiny production tidbit to chew on: The original Swedish title Glaskupan literally translates to “The Glass Dome” or “The Glass Jar.” Läckberg has been heavily involved, and given her schedule (she’s a busy author and even had a reality show recently​swedenherald.com), the timing of production will also depend on her availability to oversee the writing and possibly filming process. She’s clearly passionate about making it happen, so we suspect she’ll make time when (and if) the project gets the official nod.

In conclusion, while no filming has started, the creative wheels are turning behind the scenes. The showrunner has Season 2 mapped out, the main cast is game, and we even know the intended setting (which is more than we usually know at this stage!). All that’s missing is Netflix saying “Proceed.” Once that happens, expect news of scriptwriting, filming schedules, and maybe some on-location Instagram teases from the cast (Skåne beaches, anyone?) as production kicks into gear.

Plot Theories: What Could Season 2 Be About?

How do you follow up the twists of Season 1? That’s the big question on every fan’s mind. Season 1 of The Glass Dome delivered a jaw-dropping reveal that Lejla’s own adoptive father, Valter, was the kidnapper she’d been hunting – the very monster from her childhood trauma​pajiba.com. With Valter behind bars and that mystery resolved, Season 2 would likely pivot to a new case for Lejla. Here’s where both official hints and fan theories come into play to imagine the Season 2 storyline.

Camilla Läckberg’s vision gives us a broad outline: Lejla will travel to a new location (Skåne) and solve a new case there​swedenherald.com. Think of it as Lejla becoming a roving criminologist, tackling different crimes across Sweden – almost a “Nordic Noir detective tour.” So, the expectation is that Season 2’s plot will stand largely on its own, with a fresh central mystery. Fans speculate that the crime in Season 2 could thematically echo Season 1 (for example, dealing with another form of abducted victims or a serial killer, since Läckberg has a noted fascination with serial killer stories​swedenherald.com). Perhaps Lejla gets embroiled in tracking a new predator – maybe one targeting young people during the summer festival season in Skåne, or something grim like that. The themes of trauma and trust that loomed large in Season 1 will likely continue. Lejla is still grappling with the betrayal by Valter, so her psyche in Season 2 might be even more guarded and determined. We might see her struggling to trust authority figures, given how badly that went last time, which could be a compelling character thread as she works with new colleagues on a case.

One popular fan theory is that Season 2 might still connect to Season 1 in subtle ways. For instance, some viewers wonder if Valter was truly a lone wolf, or if any part of his twisted crimes had a larger network or copycat out there. Season 1 didn’t explicitly set up a bigger conspiracy – it pretty much pointed to Valter alone – but that hasn’t stopped theory-crafters on Reddit from speculating that maybe someone else (perhaps a never-seen accomplice or an admirer of Valter’s “work”) could emerge. This is admittedly deep speculation with little evidence, but in the world of TV thrillers, anything is possible. It could be a way to up the stakes: Lejla could discover that while she caught one monster, another is inspired by him or was somehow pulling strings. Again, no concrete hints support this; it’s just fans letting their imaginations run wild.

More grounded theories focus on Lejla’s personal journey. By the end of Season 1, Lejla got closure on her past kidnapping, but at an immense emotional cost. In Season 2, fans expect to explore how she heals (or doesn’t). Will Lejla continue to seek therapy or solace for her trauma? Will she form closer bonds now that one chapter of her life closed, or will Valter’s betrayal push her into isolation? Some think Lejla might become even more of a lone wolf investigator – perhaps leaving the official police force behind and acting as a consultant or freelancer, precisely so she’s not constrained by trusting a partner. Others think she might find an unexpected confidant in a new character, someone who helps her see that not everyone will betray her. The emotional arc of Lejla is as much a part of fan speculation as the criminal plot. This is a credit to how well the show built her character – viewers are invested in her psyche, not just the whodunit.

We should also consider any loose threads from Season 1 that Season 2 could tug on. One small thread: Tomas’s affair with Louise (the murdered friend) was revealed, and though it didn’t make him a killer, it did complicate things. In the finale, Tomas ends up arresting his own brother, which is huge. Fans have mused about the aftermath: Does Tomas keep his job after all the secrets and drama? How does he cope with knowing his brother was a monster under his nose? While Season 2’s main plot might be separate, it wouldn’t be surprising if the show touches on these questions, even briefly. Perhaps Episode 1 of a hypothetical Season 2 could open with Lejla at Valter’s trial or visiting Granås once more to wrap things up, before she gets pulled into a new mystery elsewhere. This could give closure to the Granås storyline (for viewers who want a bit more epilogue) and then transition our heroine to the next adventure. This is partly fan wish (because who doesn’t love some continuity), but it also makes narrative sense to not leave those personal resolutions entirely off-screen.

Another theory bouncing around fan circles deals with the concept of the “glass dome” itself. In Season 1, the literal glass dome was the cage Valter used to hold Lejla (and later Alicia) captive – a metaphor made real. Some fans predict that Season 2 might introduce a new metaphorical “dome” – not an actual glass cage this time, but perhaps another symbol that ties into the crime and Lejla’s emotional state. Läckberg is quite thematic in her writing (the dome symbolized being trapped by trauma), so Season 2 could have its own titular motif. Fans have joked, for example, if it’s set in Skåne’s summer, maybe it could be something like “The Glass House” or “The Sand Castle” (don’t worry, that’s not an actual title, just fan musing). The point is, viewers are expecting Season 2 to cleverly mirror some elements of Season 1 while still giving us a brand-new mystery to chew on.

Officially, no plot details are confirmed for Season 2 beyond Läckberg’s hint of location​swedenherald.com. But the combination of that hint and the fertile imaginations of fans gives us a lot to discuss. In short, fan theories range from logical to outlandish: Lejla solving a new case in Skåne (very likely), dealing with a copycat kidnapper or new serial killer (quite plausible), confronting unresolved personal demons (definitely), to even uncovering a bigger conspiracy linked to her past (more of a stretch, but fans are pondering it). What we do know is that Läckberg has thoughts on “how this can continue”​comingsoon.net, and she’s an expert at crafting twisty thrillers. So whatever Season 2’s plot ends up being, we can safely expect it will be intense, character-driven, and probably full of “I did NOT see that coming!” moments.

Until official plot synopses drop (in the event of renewal), the theories above are the best we have – a mix of creator insight and fandom brainstorming. It’s part of the fun in this in-between period: the mystery off-screen is almost as tantalizing as the mystery on-screen.
