The fate of Detective Hole season 2 hangs in the balance as Netflix awaits viewing figures for the first season. The nine-episode adaptation of Jo Nesbø's Harry Hole novels, starring Tobias Santelmann as the titular detective, premiered on the streaming service on [date]. While the show has garnered attention, no renewal has been announced yet.
Nesbø and Santelmann have expressed interest in returning for a second season, should the opportunity arise. With 13 novels in the series, only the fifth book, The Devil's Star, and elements leading up to it have been adapted, leaving ample source material for future seasons.
If renewed, a potential release date remains speculative. The first season was announced in March 2024, began filming in May 2024, and took nearly two years to release. Following a similar timeline, a 2028 release could be possible, though nothing is confirmed.
Santelmann is expected to reprise his role as Harry Hole, alongside Pia Tjelta's Rakel Fauke and Ellen Helinder's Beate Lønn. However, characters played by Ingrid Bolsø Berdal and Joel Kinnaman were killed off in season one, making their return unlikely.
No trailer for season 2 exists, as the show has not been renewed. Detective Hole season 1 is currently streaming on Netflix, which starts at £5.99 per month.
