Netflix’s Detective Hole has only just been released, but viewers are already eager to know if Jo Nesbø’s crime drama will return for a second season
Netflix has recently released its gripping new crime drama Jo Nesbø’s Detective Hole, yet some viewers are already eager to discover whether another series is on the cards.
The nine-episode detective series, adapted from bestselling crime writer Nesbø’s The Devil’s Star, serves up a compelling journey for Netflix audiences , reports the Mirror.
Detective Hole centres on troubled investigator Harry Hole (Tobias Santelmann) as he battles against time to locate a serial killer before their next attack.
Simultaneously, Harry finds himself embroiled in a perilous cat-and-mouse game with corrupt fellow officer Tom Waaler (Joel Kinnaman).
Will there be another season of Netflix’s Detective Hole?
In an exclusive conversation with Wales Online publishers Reach Plc, creator Nesbø, leading actor Santelmann and Beate Lønn star Ellen Helinder discussed the programme’s future.
Nesbø revealed: “No plans yet [for a season two]. Right now, we’re just concentrating on getting this TV series out to the audience and we’ve been working on this for three years now.
“So, just the thought of starting all over again right now is a bit premature and we’re so exhausted right now that we want a vacation.”

Sky is giving away a free Netflix subscription with its new Sky Stream TV bundles, including the £15 Essential TV plan.

Nevertheless, Harry Hole star Santelmann remarked: “I’m ready. You might be exhausted.”
Nesbø jokingly responded: “You’re ready? Then I’m ready too for season two.”
The crime writer acknowledged that he hadn’t yet considered the direction he’d prefer to take the programme or which Harry Hole novel a potential second series might explore.
Meanwhile, actress Helinder, who plays the talented forensics officer Beate, expressed her aspirations for a second series of Detective Hole: “Just to keep working with these amazing people and develop the characters even more.
“There’s so much to find in these people, who work within the law enforcement.
“Even more the morality, the ethical dilemmas and how is Harry going to cope with everything? Who is Beate? I would like to explore her backstory.
“I think this ability that she has for facial recognition is so cool, just for her to keep tracking cases and doing her thing.”
As Jo Nesbø’s Detective Hole has only recently launched, Netflix will be monitoring audience numbers before making any decisions about continuation.
The Devil’s Star represents just one of 13 Harry Hole novels that Nesbø has penned, meaning there’s abundant material for the production team and indeed the writer, who also worked as screenwriter on the Netflix adaptation, to utilise.
