9 Years on, New Netflix Reboot of Legendary Book Series Arrives This Week

by

Get ready to explore the shadowy streets of Oslo in a fresh adaptation of a popular book series. Previous attempts to bring this story to the screen, including one with a well-known actor, didn’t satisfy fans. But with a gripping serial killer mystery coming to Netflix – and all episodes available at once – viewers are sure to tune in. If you love detective stories, be sure to watch for the premiere on March 26th.

Get ready for the latest take on the Harry Hole story! The new series, Detective Hole, arrives in less than a week, and season one is based on the fifth book, The Devil’s Star. Starring Tobias Santelmann, Joel Kinnaman, and Pia Tjelta, this dark and gritty mystery follows Detective Hole as he investigates a shocking series of murders. Adding to the pressure, Hole also finds himself battling his old enemy, the crooked detective Tom Waaler. As they clash – one seeking the truth, the other trying to hide it – lives are put on the line.

Fans Are Finally Getting the Adaptation They Deserve

Jo Nesbø, the author and showrunner, shared with Tudum that he’s thrilled with how actor Tobias Santelmann has brought the character of Harry Hole to life. He believes this version feels both new and faithful to the novels. Nesbø is excited for audiences to meet this Harry Hole and promises a complex, gripping story with plenty of unexpected twists. This adaptation aims to show a more human and relatable side of the character than viewers have seen before.

Initial reactions to the series have been positive, with reviewers praising its dark tone while noting it avoids being gratuitous. The show focuses more on the complex inner life of detective Hole – his troubled past and rebellious nature – rather than solely on the violent crimes. As critic Kelcie Mattson puts it, the series is a thrilling and satisfying ride that lives up to the expectations of a classic thriller, befitting the reputation of author Jo Nesbø.
