Mørkeland Hands Out the Mørkeawards for True Crime 2025

Danish true crime podcast Mørkeland released a special awards episode in February 2026, in which hosts Camilla Bjerregaard Aurvig and Kristine Sofie Bugbee looked back at the most notable true crime releases and highlights of 2025.

A different kind of episode

Unlike the show's regular format — which typically dives into two older crime cases each week — this episode took a completely different shape. Rather than in-depth case overviews, the focus was on celebrating the true crime genre itself.

Physical statuettes and listener statistics

The episode featured physical Mørkeaward statuettes awarded to selected true crime releases from 2025. The hosts also took the opportunity to review listener statistics from the year and share recommendations based on what had stood out to both audiences and the industry.
