Netflix Sets Up a Dark, Local-Language Take on Jo Nesbø’s Detective Hole

Netflix is adapting Jo Nesbø’s Harry Hole novels into a nine-episode, high-end Norwegian-language crime series produced by Working Title, with Tobias Santelmann as Harry Hole. Filmed in Norway and positioned as a culturally specific local-language production, the show draws from the fifth Hole book and promises a first episode with a shockingly brutal death that executives say will blow viewers’ minds. Working Title oversaw script development closely; the Norwegian budget is high for the country but modest by U.S. standards, and Nick Cave and Warren Ellis craft the soundtrack, with the potential for additional installments if the series lands with audiences.
