Netflix has dropped a teaser trailer and key art for the highly anticipated Nordic Noir crime series, Jo Nesbo’s Detective Hole (Norwegian title: Jo Nesbøs Harry Hole), offering a peek into Harry Hole‘s dark and troubling Oslo universe. Based on Jo Nesbø‘s international bestselling book series about one of the most legendary detectives in literature, the series is set to launch globally on Netflix on March 26.

Leading the cast as anti-hero detective Harry Hole is Tobias Santelmann (Exit, The Arctic Convoy), with Joel Kinnaman (Altered Carbon, The Suicide Squad) portraying the corrupt detective Tom Waaler, and Pia Tjelta (Made in Oslo, State of Happiness) as Harry Hole’s great love, Rakel Fauke.

Stepping into Harry Hole’s shoes has been a tremendous honor and a thrilling challenge. Jo Nesbø’s world is so rich, and Harry is a truly complex character. I’m thankful for this opportunity, and I hope the audience will enjoy our Harry Hole. Bringing him to life and working with everyone involved, has been a true privilege.

Jo Nesbø has written the screenplay for all nine-episodes. He also serves as showrunner and executive producer for the series which is produced by Working Title.

t’s been just great working with Tobias Santelmann and creating a character that is fresh, still true to the character and his universe in the novels. I’m really looking forward to presenting this Harry Hole to the audience.”
