The Hulu and Disney+ series “The Clearing,” which is based on JP Pomare’s 2019 book “In the Clearing,” depicts the tale of the Kindred, a cult that was largely active more than 20 years ago in rural Victoria. Henrik Wilczek, played by Erroll Shand, is a significant supporting figure in “The Clearing.” We find out that Adrienne first met Hannah, who would later become Henrik’s wife, in the episode that delves into Maitreya’s (Miranda Otto) history. Hannah was already involved with Henrik at the time. Her parents, however, were opposed to the union because Henrik was a foreigner. Adrienne was later introduced to Henrik by Hannah, who thought Adrienne was a kind and attentive supporter. They initially relocated to a rural area of Victoria to raise their kids, but Adrienne persuaded them to give the property to the Kindred so that a community might raise a group of kids there. We have answers for you if the events of The Clearing’s conclusion have you wondering if Henrik is actually gone in the show. Spoilers follow.
Is Henrik Dead?
Henrik is indeed gone in “The Clearing.” A young girl named Sara is taken hostage by the Kindred at the start of the series. The cult’s upper management knew this and rightly predicted that cops would soon arrive at their doors. To absorb Sara into the cult, they therefore tried brainwashing her, but nothing was successful. Adrienne finally gave Freya/Amy the go-ahead to repeatedly submerge Sara’s head in the water as punishment. The girl was unable to endure the torment and passed away. As cunning and cunning as usual, Adrienne forced Freya to confess in front of a camera and then threatened Henrik, who was Freya’s biological father, with it, forcing him to admit guilt for Sara’s demise.
