Netflix have released a first look image for crime series Jo Nesbø’s Detective Hole. After a disappointing debut on the big screen in the form of The Snowman (2017), the streamer will be hoping for better luck on the small screen… Every crime has hidden clues.
Tobias Santelmann (Exit, The Arctic Convoy) stars as the iconic detective Harry Hole, is joined by Joel Kinnaman (The Suicide Squad) as Tom Waaler and Pia Tjelta (State of Happiness) as Rakel Fauke, alongside an all-star ensemble.
Stepping into the shadowy streets of Oslo, where nothing is as it seems and every clue draws you deeper into the city’s dark heart, Jo Nesbø’s Detective Hole (or Jo Nesbø’s Harry Hole in Norway) brings the legendary Norwegian anti-hero Harry Hole to life in a gripping nine-episode serial killer mystery in March. The show is a tale of obsession, betrayal, and blurred lines between justice and revenge. Harry Hole is facing off with his nemesis Tom Waaler and drawn into a game of cat and mouse where the stakes couldn’t be higher.
Synopsis | Created by one of the greatest storytellers in crime fiction, Jo Nesbø’s Detective Hole is a whodunnit serial killer mystery led by famed anti-hero Harry Hole. Underneath the surface, this series is a nuanced character drama about two police officers – and supposed colleagues – operating on opposite sides of the law. Throughout the season, Harry goes head-to-head with his long-time adversary and corrupt detective Tom Waaler. Harry is a brilliant but tormented homicide detective who struggles with his demons. As the two navigate the blurred ethical lines of the criminal justice system, Harry must do all he can to catch a serial killer and bring Waaler to justice before it is too late.
The rest of that ensemble cast includes several other familiar Scandinavian actors, including Ellen Helinder, Anders Baasmo, Kåre Conradi, Simon J. Berger, Peter Stormare, Fridtjov Såheim, Eili Harboe, Atle Antonsen, Manish Sharma, Jesper Christensen, Kristoffer Joner, Ingrid Bolsø Berdal, Linn Skåber, Jonas Strand Gravli, Sonny Lindberg, Agnes Kittelsen, Nader Khademi, Agot Sendstad, Maja Christiansen, Frank Kjosås, Kelly Gale, Oddgeir Thune, Ravdeep Singh Bajwa, Henrik Mestad, Ingar Helge Gimle, Henriette Steenstrup, Helge Jordal, Eirik Hallert, Anders Danielsen Lie, Ane Dahl Torp and Dagny. Øystein Karlsen (Exit) and Anna Zackrisson (The Helicopter Heist) on directing duties.
Jo Nesbø’s Detective Hole will premiere on Netflix 26th March 2026.
