‘Detective Hole’: Peter Stormare Joins Jo Nesbø’s Series Adaptation!!

An upcoming Netflix crime series from an acclaimed Norweigan author just got a major update. A new report from Deadline revealed that Prison Break actor Peter Stormare, along with 27 others, have officially joined the cast of Jo Nesbø’s Detective Hole, a crime series based on Nesbø’s novels about Detective Harry Hole. Stormare joins Joel Kinnaman, Tobias Santelmann, and Pia Tjelta in the cast, along with other new additions: Anders Baasmo (The King’s Choice), Ellen Helinder (Exit), Simon Berger (The Master Plan), and Kelly Gale (Plane). Anna Zackrisson, best known for helming five episodes of the Netflix original series Deliver Me, has also come on board to direct Jo Nesbø’s Detective Hole.

Jo Nesbø’s Detective Hole is described as a whodunnit serial mystery series led by Detective Harry Hole (Santelmann), a brilliant detective who also struggles with inner demons. Harry works opposite Tom Waaler (Kinnaman), a corrupt cop and long-time foe of Hole, as the two have extraordinarily different methods of solving crime. The pair get into a hunt as they search for the same serial killer, but while Tom is focused solely on finding the murderer, Harry is honed in on bringing them both to justice, setting himself up with a monumentally difficult task. The series promises twists, turns, and thrills, and is currently slated to premiere on Netflix sometime in 2026.
