    Pray, Obey, Kill is a Swedish-American co-produced documentary miniseries revolving around the Knutby murder and the investigation conducted by journalists Anton Berg and Martin Johnson. It consists of 6-episodes and premiered on HBO Europe on April 4, 2021, and in the United States on HBO on April 12, 2021.[1][2]

    Plot[edit]

    The series follows Anton Berg and Martin Johnson, who conduct an investigation into the Knutby murder in January 2004, which took place in a pentecostalist church congregation cult, when the wife of a pastor is murdered, and a neighbor across the street is injured. The case gains worldwide attention when the assailant claims she received text messages from God, asking her to commit the crime.
