About The Golden Hour

The six-part thriller series is set in the aftermath of a terrorist attack in the Netherlands. The first hour after an attack is crucial. That is when panic and fear are overwhelming and the danger of a second attack is greatest. The series follows everyone involved, including perpetrators, victims and all emergency services who arrive first on the scene. This hour of life or death and the consequences of a terrorist attack can be seen in the exciting series The Golden Hour.

The manhunt that follows has far-reaching consequences...
