Pia Tjelta (<em>Made in Oslo<\/em>, <em>State of Happiness<\/em>) and Joel Kinnaman (<em>Altered Carbon<\/em>, <em>The Suicide Squad<\/em>) also star.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHarry Hole isn\u2019t just another detective\u2014he is a character readers around the world have lived with for almost 30 years, and I am grateful for the opportunity to bring him to the screen,\u201d Santelmann said. \u201cI approached this role with deep respect for Jo Nesb\u00f8\u2019s work and for the audience that has followed Harry for so long. At the same time, I had to find my Harry\u2014or our Harry\u2014and I hope we\u2019ve created something that feels true to the spirit of the books while also standing on its own.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kinnaman commented, \u201cStepping into the role of Tom Waaler, Harry Hole\u2019s formidable adversary, has been an exciting challenge. Filming in Oslo, the city so deeply woven into Jo Nesb\u00f8\u2019s novels, brings an authenticity to the series that\u2019s impossible to replicate. Collaborating closely with Jo to explore this darker side of Harry\u2019s world has been a rewarding creative experience, and I\u2019m so proud to help bring this story to the screen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve been a fan of Jo Nesb\u00f8\u2019s books for years, so stepping into this universe has been a real pleasure,\u201d Tjelta added.\u201cRakel Fauke is a character a lot of people hold very dear, and I feel fortunate to have the opportunity of bringing her to life on screen. Exploring the complicated relationship between Harry and Rakel, with Jo involved and this great team around us, has been a very meaningful experience for me.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jo Nesb\u00f8\u2019s Detective Hole, based on Norwegian author Jo Nesb\u00f8\u2019s novels featuring detective Harry Hole, is slated to premiere globally on Netflix on March 26.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1412,"featured_media":24474,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[4138,11973,11974,88,11975,11976,227],"class_list":["post-24473","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-jo-nesbo","tag-jo-nesbos-detective-hole","tag-joel-kinnaman","tag-netflix","tag-pia-tjelta","tag-tobias-santelmann","tag-working-title","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Jo Nesb\u00f8\u2019s Detective Hole Heads to Netflix - TVDRAMA<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/jo-nesbos-detective-hole-heads-to-netflix\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Jo Nesb\u00f8\u2019s Detective Hole Heads to Netflix - TVDRAMA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Jo Nesb\u00f8\u2019s Detective Hole, based on Norwegian author Jo Nesb\u00f8\u2019s novels featuring detective Harry Hole, is slated to premiere globally on Netflix on March 26.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/jo-nesbos-detective-hole-heads-to-netflix\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVDRAMA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2026-02-26T17:26:23+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-02-26T17:26:44+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2026\/02\/Netflix-JoNesbosDetectiveHole-0226.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"640\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"394\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Jamie Stalcup\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Jamie Stalcup\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/jo-nesbos-detective-hole-heads-to-netflix\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/jo-nesbos-detective-hole-heads-to-netflix\/\",\"name\":\"Jo Nesb\u00f8\u2019s Detective Hole Heads to Netflix - TVDRAMA\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2026-02-26T17:26:23+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2026-02-26T17:26:44+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#\/schema\/person\/0da12602224807cc7b179b8405018deb\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/jo-nesbos-detective-hole-heads-to-netflix\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/jo-nesbos-detective-hole-heads-to-netflix\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/jo-nesbos-detective-hole-heads-to-netflix\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Jo Nesb\u00f8\u2019s Detective Hole Heads to Netflix\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/\",\"name\":\"TVDRAMA\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#\/schema\/person\/0da12602224807cc7b179b8405018deb\",\"name\":\"Jamie Stalcup\",\"description\":\"Jamie Stalcup is the executive editor of World Screen.
