The Reserve: Release date news, cast details, streaming details and more about Netflix's upcoming crime drama

The Reserve is the name of an upcoming six part Danish thriller on Netflix. The Reserve stars Marie Bach Hansen in the leading role and features an intriguing mystery involving the sudden disappearance of a Filipino au pair working at one of the wealthiest and most influential neighborhoods located in the north of Copenhagen, Denmark.

The Reserve is slated to drop on May 15 and will be available for streaming exclusively on Netflix. Here's everything that we know about the upcoming show.

What is The Reserve all about?

The Reserve takes off right after the disappearance of a Filipino au pair at an affluent Copenhagen neighborhood is made public. Marie Bach Hansen plays the leading character of Cecile, who is the neighbor of the missing au pair and suspects an element of foul play. The subsequent investigative ordeal leads to the crumbling down of the existing status quo inside what otherwise appears to be peaceful and idyllic Danish suburban life. Netflix recently released an official plot synopsis for the show that reads:

"When the young Filipino au pair Ruby disappears from one of Denmark's most affluent neighborhoods north of Copenhagen, the neighbor, Cecilie, becomes convinced that something has happened to her. Cecilie's au pair, Angel, begins to investigate the rumors circulating, while suspicions of a crime grow."

The synopsis further reads:

"However, the case of the missing foreigner is a low priority for the police, and the newly minted investigator Aicha needs all the assistance she can get. Cecilie and Angel are ready to help, and gradually the power structures and privileges within the beautiful homes start to expose. Yet, Cecilie's commitment to uncovering the truth is put to the test when Ruby's disappearance reveals connections reaching into Cecilie's own family. She is forced to confront her blind spots and view her family and the environment in which she is raising her children in a whole new light."
