Netflix announced today that production of Jo Nesbø’s Detective Hole has wrapped after 113 days of shooting across 160 locations. The streaming service has shared a first-look video featuring Tobias Santelmann as Harry Hole and Joel Kinnaman as Tom Waaler in Harry’s shabby Oslo apartment.
From best-selling author Jo Nesbø, one of the leading crime writers in the world, the nine-episode series will launch on Netflix in 2026.
The streaming service also revealed that Anders Danielsen Lie (The Worst Person in the World, Bergman Island), Ane Dahl Torp (Home Ground, Charter) and pop singer Dagny (Home for Christmas) have joined the cast of the anticipated series.

Throughout the first season, Harry goes head-to-head with his long-time adversary and corrupt detective Tom Waaler.

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.
